Hey High Roaders, I lurk on here and soak up information for the most part, don't post very often. I've recently acquired a Ruger Blackhawk convertible in 45LC/45ACP, and am ready to start loading up some LC ammo for it.
Anybody have experience using Longshot powder under 250gr lead boolits? Neither my Lyman or Nosler manuals have data for this powder in any 45LC loads. Hodgdon's data center has Longshot listed under "Ruger Only" loads, but only with jacketed bullets. My understanding is that Longshot runs a bit slower than HS6 and faster than H110...so I would think it'd be fine for this cartridge.
Thoughts on a starting load?
