My loads in .45 colt 5 1/2 barrel 960 fps. ,, 20 inch Uberti 66 1,240 Fps. ,, 20 inch Winchester 94 1,268 Fps. ,,, 24 in 92 1,280 Fps.
This same load Clocks in at 1,024 Fps. in my first Gen. Colt with a 7 1/2 inch barrel , SO it is NOT used in SASS matches ...
.38 Spl. Uberti Richard Mason Conversion 8 inch barrel 970 Fps. ,,,, Uberti 1872 Open-Top 7 1/2 inch barrel 980 Fps.
.38 WCF Uberti 66 Sporting Rifle 24 5/8 inch barrel 1,303 Fps. Same load in First Gen Colt 7 1/2 barrel 1,034 Fps. NOT used for SASS ...
All these load Velocities can also be reached with the original Powder , for use in FCD ....

Head-space and Chambering are independent of firearm type and are done to SAMMI specs...
Barrel length and cylinder gap are a factor in Velocity with the former having the greater effect ...
A good load for Cowboy in your revolvers will be just fine in your rifle ....
Hope this helps ...

Pards;
First of the more empty space in the case the more effected it is by low temps...
Loads that fail to reach the designed pressure range of the powder in question the more it is effected.
Widder ; Changing to a Mag. primer if you leave the rest of the load the same can act like adding 2
tenths of a grain of powder ...
Full Case loads of Real Blackpowder shoot about the same no matter the Temp Range ...

I am seeing less and less Cross Draws up here in Canada , and more Gunfighters ....
I think the peak of the Cross Draw usage up here was about 15 years ago ...
Happy New Year ...

It has come to my attention that there are folks out there that are loading Shotshell with less than 3 grains more blackpowder than I use in .45 Colt ....
These loads hardly smoke more than old IVI smokeless loads ...
It is in my opinion pushing things too far ,,, shotshells used in the Blackpowder classes should smoke more than smokeless.to a noticeable degree ....
I shoot FCD and my loads SMOKE ....
Do I expect everyones loads to be as smokie as mine NO !
Flame away ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I do ...

And I assume you don't know nothing ....
I shoot doubles with hammers the newest about 90 years old the oldest made in 1884 all with black , cleared the saloon at WR when I started shooting ,,, .45 colt with a compressed charge of Goex 3F under a 270 gr. RNFP (2,3 grains less than your Shotshells)..
Or my Open-Tops in .44 spl. using drop-tubed in compressed loads under 240 gr, RNFP ...
My lightest loads used in this game in 12ga are 4.3 CCs of 3F Goex under 1 1/8 oz. of shot ...
Compared to my loads yours I might mistake yours as smokeless !!!
Jabez Cowboy

SORRY I mistakenly thought that in Shooting BLACKPOWDER it is expected that your guns should make smoke !!!!!
Or move on over to the smokeless categories ....
