I am looking to load up some lighter 200 grain .45 colt loads over Unique. I would plan on using the Missouri Bullet semi-wadcutter or similar bullet. The data I have seen lists a starting load of 8.6gr, and a velocity of 900ish fps.
They would be used for plinking loads in a pietta and in a bond arms derringer with a 4.25" barrel, so I would prefer a velocity somewhere in the 750fps range. I am guessing somewhere in the 7-7.5 grain range would get me that, but I am curious if others have had decent luck with that or if there is another powder that might be a better fit (assuming it is a powder that one can obtain these days).
Thanks in advance for any suggestions, experiences, etc. you may have to share.
