Juan Solo Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Seems like the best cartridge doesn't have a load data post yet. I'm personally running 4.1gr Trail boss under a 200gr Coated bullet with overall length of 1.572 (crimped at the groove) and loving it through both pistol and rifle.

Dust'N Bottles Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 4.8 gn. Trail Boss Topped with a 205 gn. Bear Creek molly coated bullet, crimped at the groove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantankerous Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Usually 5.4 Trailboss under a 200 grain slug. Sometimes I use a 250 grain slug with 5.8 Trailboss. And when I really want to have fun, either APP or BP with a 250 grainer. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lead Friend, SASS #53635 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 4.6 grains of Trail Boss under a coated 200gr RNFP. A pard around here was getting squibs with 4.0 grains TB on cold mornings around 32 degrees. Just in case I ever get younger and more ambitious and I decide to shoot in the cold I figure I'm covered.

Lead Monger Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Starline case with Fed. or RP standard primer. 20 gr. GOEX 2F with .5 cc scoop of cornmeal on top. 250 gr. Big lube bullet with SPG or Pearl lube. Starline case with Fed. or RP standard primer. 5 gr. Green Dot and a 230gr. RCBS Cowboy. Starline case with Fed. or RP standard primer. 5gr. Red Dot and a 200gr. RNFP from Rim Rock. All use a regular roll crimp in the groove and cycle through a 66, 73 and 92 without a hitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roscoe Regulator Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 5.6 Trailboss and 250 RNFP. According to Lyman, I should expect that to run around 800 fps. I have the set of pistols and loaded some ammo but have not used this in a match, opting for my 38s. Once using the load, I suppose I might want something a little lighter or a 200 range bullet weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 6.0 grains of RedDot behind a 200 grain RFN. Crimped tightly. This load means I can use one load for cowboy and Wild Bunch rifles. Very little blowby. Another favored load is 6.5 grains of RedDot behind a 225 grain TC outta RCBS 45-225-CAV mold . A load which pretty well mimics a 30 grain of 2F Goex behind the same bullet with SPG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHOOTIN FOX Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 5 grains of Promo under a 200 gr RNFP. Works well in rifle and pistols. Same powder as red dot,but measures slightly differently and cost less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painted Mohawk SASS 77785 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 For pistol I use Starline Schofield cases with 4. 2 Grains of Clays under a 160 g RNFP..power factor of around 90 at 600 fps. Rifle is LC Cases with 4. 8 Clays & 160 g bullet . Federal primers are used. Very reliable & great performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillbilly Drifter Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I use 5 gr of Clays under a Magnus 200gr LRNFP and either WLP or Fed 150 primers. I use this in both my revolvers and rifle. An 8LB jug of clays will last forever it seems.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicker Nash Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I use a coated 250 gr RNFP bullet with 5.5 gr of Trailboss. A firm crimp in the crimp groove. Works very well in both revolvers and rifle. Guns stay cleaner than when I used 200 gr bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomstick Bruce Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 5.0gns of TB under a 200rnfp.. my 58's like it and so does my 92! I use federal magnum primers, gives a little cleaner guns at the end... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one would use these for cowboy shooting would they?? I only checked the last one (because I use Alliant and it seemed a little high) ... the 8 - 11.2 grs of Unique. 11.2 grains is 18% higher than the manufacturer currently lists as maximum for 200 / 250gr lead bullet ... (they show a 9.5gr maximum) ... reference link: http://www.alliantpowder.com/reloaders/powderlist.aspx?type=1&powderid=3&cartridge=36 Wouldn't it be more helpful if we just put up stuff we really used (in Cowboy)??

As I stated in my post velocity & power factor are well above what is required, yes a light bullet but I have tried 200 & 250 & don't really see the need just to save a 'LITTLE blowback & a heavier hit.. not to mention the added cost........Chrono's are used at various Cowboy shoots in Australia & I never have a problem. And as a side note lots of shooters use short colt .38's with around 1- 2 grains of powder with a 95- 115 grain bullet ..velocity & power factor is right up there..................
