Gun stores sell conversion cylinders (.44 cap and ball to .45 LC) for Remington 1858 black powder handguns, and the recommended load for using .45 LC is a "cowboy load" with less powder. Is this HSM 200 grain ammo safe or is it too powerful?

Question

James G. · Answer

Hi Panzer and welcome. This load is safe for those conversion cylinders as these are cowboy loaded specification and not full power loads. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

Jason L. · Answer

This load will pose no problems.
Here's a great thread on this question as well.
