Chart/Table for caliber vs Powder Bar needed?

Hi All,

I am looking to reload 45 Colt with smokeless powder. Is there a listing for grains capacity of each powder bar?

 

Cheers,

Strong Winds

It will vary a bit, as all powders have different densities. But as a guideline, as follows:

standard small powder bar    2.6- 20 grains

standard large powder bar    15-55 grains

If you are specifically using Trail Boss powder, use the large bar for powder charges 5 grains and up, due to its' bulkiness.
