I have a question...
« on: April 03, 2022, 09:13:14 AM »
I have (2) percussion Cimarron Uberti 1858 Remmies (.44) with Howell Conversion Cylinders (45LC). I was recently gifted ~12lbs of cast lead bullets with smokeless lube 255g , .452 dia. cast lead bullets in reviewing the Hodgdon Reloading sight for Trailboss, the closest bullet is 250g and the specs are as follows Starting Load: 4.5g, 606ft/lbs, 8,800 PSI and Max. Load: 5.8g, 727ft/lbs, 12,700 PSI.

Anybody see any issues with me using these bullets with Trailboss or any other issues?

Thanks, Retreever

No problems. I used them in my 1911 for years. You may want to back your normal 250 grain load off a little.
