ROA .45 Colt loads
« on: September 02, 2010, 08:42:43 PM »
What bullet are using in the ROA Taylor or R&D Conv. cylinder?  In order to load for the Conv. the heavy slugs have to be pushed too far into the case.  Some of the little 200 grs. wad cutters will work but these bullets are to light for my use. What molds are you using?

Thx BB I will check that one out.  What powder are you using?  I have tried the Trail Boss but not impressed.

Thanks BB.  I found an RCBS .45 mold 255 grs FP in my junk this morning.  Think I will try that one out.
