45 Colt shotshell loads

Can anyone recommend a powder and charge weight for the 45 colt with speer shot capsules? Thanks.

JC,

Weigh the total of the shot & capsule & charge it w/ an appropriate amount of Unique.
I have loaded for the 44mag & the faster you push these, the more the shot spreads, so keep velocity in the low to midrange. Good luck!

Thanks Fred. I just found out that there is some loading data on the box lable that the capsules came in.
