I've never used a .45 Colt cylinder in my Casulls- instead, if I want to shoot .45 Colt-level loads, I simply download .454 cases to do so. FA publishes a whole list of suitable powders, bullets, etc. to do this.
In fact, nearly all the shooting I do nowdays with .454 Casull is with downloaded .454 cases. Accuracy is just fine, and those cases will last forever at reduced pressure levels. Just don't try using powders like H110 or W296 to do so- they are designed to perform at near max velocity and pressure levels, and reducing loads with these powders can result in misfires.


I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....
