Lonedave, those are some great photos! Steep country! Troy, I shoot 85gr of black powder, FFg, from my .54 T/C Grey Hawk, with a round ball. Pretty accurate! I only shoot to around 100 yards with it, I think you would be fine to a 100 with an accurate load in your .45. Find the powder charge that shoot well in you rifle. Shoot lots, it will be a "blast"!
