Ol Salty Sailor Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago I am looking for load data for .45 Colt to make the power factor on WB classic. I use Tite Group for almost everything I reload 200 gr RNFP Hi-Tec coated bullets. 20" barrel 1873 rifle. How much Tite Group will result in muzzle velocity of >750fps but <800fps? Quote
Garrison Joe Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago 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 Quote
