Hi everyone, I am new to the forum. I have been loading pistol,rifle and shotshells for 21 years using smokeless powder. Iam now looking for info on black powder blanks for the 45 colt to be used in cowboy mounted shooting, a co-worker of mine wants me to load up some blanks. I have found little info on the subject. the question I have is when loading blanks is it safe to load a half load of powder with just using a shot card on top? I have read that black powder loads must not have air space when using bullets. I know the flash holes have to be .140 to keep the primer from backing out when loading blanks.Any comments, suggestions. And thank's in advance...
