I've not used those bullets. That said H-110 and Lil' gun are not powders to use for this application, so put them aside and forget about them. AA#2 should work fine for light loads. Looking around I do see loads for #2 powder under 200gr bullets, so should be suitable for 230gr bullets. You'll just have to do some research. My experience is with >= 250gr bullets in .45 Colt and lead only. BTW, those plated Berry bullets, you can treat as lead bullets if looking for load data.

Even with the original Vaquero, those bullets you have aren't made (my understanding) for ROL loads which is what your H110 and Lit' Gun are for. So AA#2 seems your best bet in this case to work up some loads that work for your gun.

Why such light bullets? 'Normal' .45 Colt loads use bullets in the 250gr range. Like 250gr RNFP. Unless you are cowboy action shooting where puff loads are the thing, why not stick with a bullet weight that was designed for the .45 Colt cartridge? Just my way of thinking :) .

Here is where you can buy bullets of your choice (in stock) . I use them all the time : Rimrock Bullets
