loads for 454 casull

[deadkelly]

i'm going to load 454 & 45 long colts for my rossi m92 . any do's or don'ts for this rifle & cartridge ?
i have some winchester 250gr jhp 454 ammo & will try some magtech 260gr stuff along with some milder 45 long colt 200gr jhp . i will load the cases with win 296 & not sure of what bullets yet .
should i use large rifle primer cases or small rifle primer cases ?
& what primers ? mag rifle or mag pistol or just std probably depends on bullet weight & or powder weight .
& what projectiles are you guy's using ? i mostly hunt goats & fallow deer but all of our medium game ( in australia ) is on the list . i'd like to try some of the hornady ftx 200gr , 225gr or 250gr projectiles ,but i'm all ears . btw how does the 45 long colt perform on game thanks
ps is it fine to use 45 long colt dies on the 454 ?

You might be interested in this.  I use Reloader7 for my .45-70, so I started with that data and love it in my H&R .45LC Classic Carbine.    I am using a 300 gr. XTP Magnum bullet.

My Load:

 
I was shooting the same bullet in my .45LC Blackhawk so that's why they are sharpied orange.  I can tell even in fairly low light if I grab the wrong bullet.    It won't hurt the blackhawk persay, but it will make a big fireball for sure..
