45 colt hollow base wadcutter

[Blackpowderwarrior]

As the title says I'm thinking about loading up some 220 grain hollow base wadcutters up. I have quite a few different powders from unique to trailboss.

I also have some 175 grain hollow base flat point bullets.

Anyone here ever load any 45 colt hollow base wadcutters? If so what was a good load for your particular gun.

44 Special Pet Loads???

I am collecting 44 Special load info for use in a smaller frame ( Taurus) Model 445 UL. Stainless barrel and cylinder but an alloy frame. It is exactly the same size as a K frame S&W or a Python, but only has 5 chambers. So toss me your thoughts...

I know 44 special, but he does some hollow base in there.

I used to load the Lyman 450225 (I think that is the number) designed for the Remington C&B revolver in the 45 Colt. About 160 grains, hollow based, semi wadcutter. It was the only way I could get a few replica Single Actions to print poa rather than 8-13"'high at 25 yards.

I've wonsered about usung them in cap and ball revolvers.
I'll probably load a few up with blackmz thr black powder substitute to try. I'll also load some up with real black powder.
