I test fired some across my chrono yesterday. 45 Colt with a 180gr bullet loaded with 5.0grs of Titegroup. Produced an average of 836fps. If you do the math this setup results in a 150.48 power factor. I will end up increasing the powder charge a little bit.

I have used TG in a lot of .45 Colt loads. I never worried much about the velocity because all my 200 grain loads easily made a power factor of 165 - close to 180. I ran 6.2 grains of TG. But I suggest you start with 5.7 grains. Your load "velocity requirement range" is kinda slow - so with the chamber diameter and even bore variances, you will need to chrono the load. It will be a sooty load and probably not seal the chamber very well. Keeping the gas blow back down to a livable level out of Uberti toggle gun was the main reason I ran about 6.2 grains - that was enough chamber pressure to seal a .45 Colt case, even if not annealed. good luck, GJ

That's the dream

Ha!
