    Type in 200 grain bullet for the 45 LC, and trailboss powder. This is the manufacturer of trail boss. I use their website all the time and checking their results with my chronograph they usually agree pretty close.

    by design,TB is a very 'wimpy' powder,so skip the low end loads,and start at least in the mid range of loads.
    IT does fill the case nicely,by design,so chances of a double charge are slim......not impossible,but slim.

    I shoot it in my 45LC with the RCBS 230 gn bullet. It has become my "standard" load for the gun. Gives pretty good "oomph" in the gun but the pressures are low and the velocity mid range. Easy on the gun, low pressure, good accuracy, no leading, economical load...cant ask for more for a plinking round. Mort4570 is correct, I use near the upper end load of Trailboss for this 230 gn bullet. When i want more juice out of the gun I have a load using Unique powder instead of Trailboss.

    i really like Trail Boss Powder, have gone through 5 cans in the past 2 years. I use it for cast bullet light loads in everything from a 218 Bee to the 45-70.
