I'm about to embark upon reloading .45 Colt for my Ruger New Vaquero (and, yes, I know it isn't as strong as the "old" Vaquero), and a soon-to-be-purchased .45 Colt or .45-70 Gov't rifle.
My question concerns over-powder wads.
1) Are they always required where powder doesn't fill a case?
2) Does the air space formed pose any danger when loaded within manual suggested loads? I'll likely tinker with blackpowder since I'm an ol' buckskinner.
No, I've not chosen a manual yet. So...
3) Can you guys suggest a manual to purchase?
I intend to reload using a Lee Hand Press since I'm talking rather low volume & limited space.
Thanks!
