I am passionate about this. There are many correct applications for smokeless and I have several. But there is just something special about shooting the SAA as it was designed.

I've loaded BP for a couple things but hadn't got to the .45 Colt yet. Thanks Chuck!

Oh yeah, if Chuck warns you it's "a light trigger", you best listen.

Some of my most accurate loads have been a case of BP under my 289gr 45 270-SAA bullet.
