Please forgive me if I am resurrecting an old thread but I just bought a pound of American Select powder for use in my Ruger Blackhawk and Rossi Trapper; both in 45 colt.
I have not found much reloading data in my manuals or from alliant for this powder. It is supposed to be between Red and Green Dot in burn rate.
I used to use 6.5 gr of Red Dot or 7.1 gr of green dot under my own 242 gr cast bullets and a WLP primer. Neither of these Dot powders are available to me now.
If anybody has experimented and has developed loads for the 45 colt with this powder , their advice would be greatly appreciated. Sure hope this powder shortage comes to an end soon.
