For my 2.5/3 IN. Judge I load a 200 GRN .452 Hornady XTP on top of 6.7 GRNS Hodgdon Titegroup. Winchester Large Pistol primers. Works for me.
Hey all- new to handgun loading and this forum. Lots of experience shotshell reloading but just got a Taurus judge (2.5in chamber/3in barrel). Wondering where to start regarding reloading the .45colt for this gun? I purchased a dillon square deal B and am trying find recipes for reloads but not coming up with much. I'm aware that most of the recipes are for Ruger and I just dont know enough to know what's safe etc for judge. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance.

Alliant powder website. Will give you options
I reload 45 longs 230gr hp. I can't remember if I use bluedot or unique. Im away from my bench. Someday I will computerize my notes
Thanks guys- ill have to do some research but this gives me a start. Lots of stuff t learn before I start pulling that handle. Just don't want to load too much an blow the cylinder apart!
