Dave,
Some Food for thought,
As far as loads,bullets etc,won't make any comment,way too many combo's.BUT - You might seriously consider switching to "Clean Shot" powder.It's now sold under the name "American Pioneer Powder".I've always used BP until I s/w a tech at Knight re the .45 I had just bought.He recommended Clean Shot.I Had never heard of the stuff.Was very skeptical at time on any switch from BP.

Knight mailed me a Barnes Ballistic chart on the .45.It clearly showed Clean Shot out performed Pyrodex.I've used it 3 years and love it!An absolute breeze to clean up,1/2 the smoke,very little smell.
Corrosion is almost nill.They claim you can load numerous rounds(don't remember exact#)without running a patch.To test their claim,I fired 6-8 rounds without cleaning.Last round went down like the 1st.

The stuff does everthing they claim it will.

Anyway - I think once you get everthing tuned up in that smoke pole your gonna love it.Good Luck - AL
