Default Lyman 325-gr RN/FP-SWC & H110 in 45 Colt

Hodgdon's online database of bullet-powder loading for a bazillion cartridges shows no data for 45 Colt (Ruger and Freedom Arms) +P loads using H110 for bullets heavier than 300 grains. I seek reliable data for Lyman #452651 325-grain RN/FP-SWC loaded to overall cartridge length of 1.600 inches.

Recommendations?

I don't know if this will help you any but John Linebaugh has quite an article called " Heavy Weight Bullets " . Google " John Linebaugh 45 Colt " . His article comes close to what you are asking for . His article / data is what I would call , " reliable " . He is a master gunsmith and creator of the 475 Linebaugh and the 500 Linebaugh . Good Luck

Unfortunately, my FA 97's COAL is 1.600 inches. Linebaugh's data doesn't help much.

Pretty tough to stuff a 325 grain bullet into a Colt 1.600" cylinder. You'll be crimping over the ogive, way past the bullet crimp.
