Paper targets aren't your friends. They won't lie for you and they don't care if your feelings get hurt.
Nothing wrong with that! Nice shooting!

Very nice ! Those are some sweet shooting guns.
Sharp looking Flattop did you redo the finish on the grip frame? I'm also liking the 8.0 grains of Power Pistol with the Keith in my Specials.
It started life with a plow handle grip frame. I installed the stainless Bisley parts. It turned out well.

There's a problem with that gun: t'aint mine. But they are dandies.

Dumb question.....I think I know the answer
Is that on a smaller sized frame, compared to my 44 mag superblackhawk ?

Yes its the smaller frame.

I have to agree. That is an awsum pistol.
Mine is a 5 1/2" (I wish it was a 4 5/8") and it shoots like a house-afire.
I use the same boolit, but have tried many different powders. I am still trying as I am as curious as they come.
Lately I have been using a fairly stiff load of Herco.
Have fun,

Nice shootin!
I had one of them but got rid of it. I liked mine but now I like the Smith M69 a whole lot better. I shoot 44 Special loads out of the M69 on up to 44 Magnum. Hard to beat that with a stick.
Still have two or three SBH 44 Mags.

I had one to a while back and just kicked myself for getting rid of it
so I bought another one after a long search I found one and bought it
shoots fantastic mine is a 4 5/8 ...love it
Hit em'hard
hit em'often
I said I use the same boolit, I meant as Derek. My Flattop is using the 240gr Keith-type semi-wadcutter sized .430 and powder-coated. (mine are also Ford-blue, lol) My load is 6.1gr of Herco, but I have used up to 7.5gr of Unique.
A lot of shooters use Special cases in Magnum chambers, and the only reason I disagree is that if I were to shoot any amount, there would a ring of lead and carbon formed at the end of the case and the end of the chamber.
I prefer to load magnum cases with the lighter load and mark the cases to keep them separate from the magnum loads. Usually, I load brass cases with the "special" load. Nickel gets magnum stuff.
The Flattop is a lot easier to carry around, and it can be loaded quite close to normal factory magnum loads. That's what Elmer did back in the day.
If you feel you want to use the the heavy, and heavier loads, by all means buy one of the larger guns, and use Specials once
in a while.
I often carry ammo in my belt that is very close to the 1906 load, and put a LOT of holes in tin cans. There are a bunch of the heavier 240gr SWC in my pocket, too. In the cylinder, if I am hunting big game, is the 240gr with either Herco or 2400.
It's reall a fun gun to carry.
have fun,
Gene

I keep looking at my round trigger guard plow handle SBH Magnum and wish it were Bisley or even 44 Special Bisley.
So far wish as I may, it is still a 7 1/2 inch SS SBH.

"A lot of shooters use Special cases in Magnum chambers, and the only reason I disagree is that if I were to shoot any amount, there would a ring of lead and carbon formed at the end of the case and the end of the chamber."
The way around that is to seat the bullet to the same OAL in Magnum cases as a loaded 44 Special with the same bullet and the worry about the carbon ring and lead build up is gone. Use the same loads as you would in 44 Special loads. I use 7.5 Unique and the 250 "Keith" bullet or 8 grains PowerPistol with the same bullet loaded to 1.560" OAL in Magnum cases in 44 magnum revolvers.
I have a 5 1/2 inch barrel flat top I love it I customize the group frame and made my own grips to fit my hand and put on a super Blackhawk hammer now it’s perfect for me and shoots great I will never get rid of that one.
Superb shooting!
I love my Flat Top .44 Special too...although it's a little different Flat Top. this load is similar to yours-
My hunting load-
I actually have a Ruger 5 1/2" Flat Top .44 Special but don't shoot it much.

The biggest waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn't care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions.
There are people who, for all the evidence presented to them, do not have the ability to understand.

35 Whelen, that looks like a very fun .44 Special. Dang! Now there's another one I need to find some cash for.
