Hey BP shooters

At my last shoot one of the my Cowboy Pards was making more BOOM and SMOKE than I was.

I don't know how I can put anymore BP into a 45 colt cartridge than I do.

Can I compress it more and maybe fit in a grain or two more?

Just how much can you compress BP?

'Til it won't compress any more

You can compress bp, how much are you getting in now? You cannot get the 40gr that was the original .45 Colt load in today's brass. Are you using real bp, the subs don't flame and boom like the real thing although some of them make more smoke.

I can get about 34gr in a .45 Colt or 44-40 case. A little more if I really squeeze it down. Real BP in FFFg will give you plenty of fire and boom.

NO I cannot tell a lie! ;) I changed it because I'm not going back to black (well, maybe a little :P )
