Jackson Haller Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Howdy! I see the R&D conversion cylinder for Uberti '58 Remmies made by Taylor's is rated for smokeless CAS ammo in 45 colt going <850 fps. I've shot 45 colt BP rounds out of one but never smokeless. Anyone here tried smokeless 45 CAS loads in one? If so, how has the Remmie held up? Any problems noted? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burt Blade, #25657 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 · Hidden by Doc Faraday, SASS #5749, November 9, 2014 - Loading data Hidden by Doc Faraday, SASS #5749, November 9, 2014 - Loading data I have fired a .45 conversion "1858" pistol that was loaded with 180 grain slugs over a low charge of W-231. It was quire reasonable. That same gun was quite a handful when loaded with "service loads", 250s over a near-max charge of W-231.I suspect that this would be a 'non-cowboy' load, and not recommended by the conversion makers. I suggest only light loads with light bullets. Link to comment

Stick to cowboy loads that are published in most of the loading manuals. Link to comment
Stu Booty Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 · Hidden by Doc Faraday, SASS #5749, November 9, 2014 - Loading data Hidden by Doc Faraday, SASS #5749, November 9, 2014 - Loading data I have a Pietta '58 Remmie with a Taylor's conversion cylinder in .45 colt. I use a 200 grain bullet over 5 grains of Trail Boss. It shoots great and is very accurate. Have fun with your shooter. Link to comment
Doc Faraday, SASS #5749 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Sorry, we don't post loading data on the SASSWire. People can either email you or send you a PM. Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson Haller Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Howdy! I don't understand; I'm not asking for loading data. I want to know how the gun and cylinder hold up with smokeless Cowboy Action Shooting (CAS) rounds loaded at or below the level the manufacturer recommends (which I quoted above). I want to know the experiences of CAS shooters who have done this. (Anything other than that has been and will be ignored by me.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagon Box Willy Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I think a lot of folks shoot smokeless in them. I have shot Trail Boss with both 200 and 250 grain bullets but only in the back yard. I think they will hold up just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Sacramento: A pard of mine has shot nothing but smokeless in his week after week in his Remmies with R&D conversion cylinders. They've held up very well. Some of the R&D firing pins have needed replacing over the years, but they are easily replaced. --Dawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
