I was all set to change over my Knight Disc Elite to Blackhorn 209 until I found out they don't have load data for a .45. Blackhorn is just loose powder. Why can't I use it in my .45?

Same load data, 120 grains by volume is a mag load for a 45 or 50.
Ive shot it for ages in my 45s. No problem at all with a Lehigh or Bestill bare primer plug. A 200gr sabot load with 120gr by volume wont even come close to breaking 24kpsi. More like 22kpsi is all it makes.
This trace is 85gr by weight. Just slightly over 120gr by volume.
