I have the HODGDON 2008 Annual manual.  For a 215 grain lead bullet they list a starting load of 5.5 gr of Trailboss for 725 fps, and a top load of 6.5 gr. for 820 fps.

Check HODGDON'S website for the latest.

That's bad business! How long do you think I'd stay in operation if it cost me money every time I pulled a job? If he'd pay me that much to stop robbing him, I'd stop robbing him.

Ya probably inherited every penny ya got!

That was suggested in a different post with the same content.

Suspect he's confused because '45 long colt' isn't in the listings. Wonder why..........

All I did was name it 'n get it started. The posse made it great. A debt I can never repay. Thank you, mi amigos.
