[QUOTE="nemesis, post: 3582090, member: 12082"] I'm looking my Speer Reloading Manual #10 (circa 1980). The 45 Colt loads were conducted in a Colt SAA. 200 grain bullets, 6.3 grains Red Dot (minimum recommended load) = 804 fps. 7.3 grains Red Dot (maximum recommended load) = 981 fps. In one of my Alliant manuals, two separate configuration 200 grain bullets, 200 grain lead, 7.3 grains Red Dot, 1001 fps. 200 grain Gold Dot HP: 7.6 grains Red Dot, 981 fps. Your loads are clocking a bit slower, but I'd say your powder is fine. Certainly a fine plinking load. [/QUOTE]
