My most used powders in 45 Colt are Titegroup and Bullseye. They make good loads that go from light easy shooting to heavy two-handed all within standard pressure. The top end of standard pressure for 45 Colt is pretty good; 250 grain bullet at 900fps.

For really light loads I've tried Trail Boss. It was fun but for me, Titegroup had that covered so I quit using it.

I tried some really heavy loads using W296. The pressure was too high at the starting loads so I gave up. Probably just needed to increase the powder charge to bring the pressure down (counter intuitive, I know but that's how W296 works sometimes) but wasn't willing to risk it so that was that.
