    Load data is widely available in the many books out there and from powder maker's websites. I do not give out load data on any forum.

    Good luck.

    Thanks but not asking for "load data" I'm more wanting books and website.

    45-270-SAA and never look back!
    The .357 Magnum......
    1935
    Major Douglas Wesson, using factory loads, which were a 158 gr. soft lead bullet, traveling 1515 fps, from an 8 3/4" barreled S&W, producing 812 ft. lbs of muzzle energy.
    Antelope - 200 yards (2 shots)
    Elk - 130 yards (1 shot)
    Moose - 100 yards (1 shot)
    Grizzly Bear - 135 yards (1 shot).

    It kind of makes one wonder, why today, it will bounce off anything bigger than a rabbit

    For a while I was using Hornady XTPs to dispatch wounded hogs. They’re fairly pricey even at normal prices so I started using boolits from my Lyman 452374 which is a clone of John Browning’s 45 ACP bullet and “only” 225 grains. It killed them just as effectively as the XTPs. Most of the shots were head shots and the loads were of the “Ruger/Contender only” variety.

    I have a Ruger Blackhawk that I got back in 1975, I have used bullets from 160 gr. up to 350gr. What I use the most these days is Lee 200 gr. RNFP bullet, it works well in my gun and makes my supply of lead go a little further. I can't say I ever had a bullet that wouldn't work in that gun.
