If any of you load light 45 Colt loads, what are your favorites?

I’m going to try them in my judge, snakeslayer and super Blackhawk.

Looking good! You gotta let us know how they do. I'm kinda wishing the 45 Colt thing hadn't missed me the way it did. I had a Ruger convertible in my hand one afternoon, went back to buy it a few hours later . . . yeah, you know it was gone. Maybe next time.

Gonna have to try that tail boss sometime, I got it might as well use it

No. I'd say that's pretty heavy. A Thompson, A River or a rifle could probably handle it but most other brand pistols most likely won't.

Great shooting load!

I loaded a few 8 gr Unique with a Lee 452-200 but the 45-200 RCBS shot better in a 7.5" Ruger .
