Ever since I learned of a friend's late brother's Ruger Super Blackhawk for sale, I've had a desire to own one. That deal fell through, but I purchased a brand new one wi. a 10.5" bbl. (Patridge front sight on what Ruger says is a bull bbl.) in SS no less for a damned good price via Froogle & Gunbrokers.com. I've been smoothing the bbl. wi. j-word bullets (Hornady 240gr. & 180gr. XTP's) in order to slick it up for CB's. Today, I put 100 rnds. of the 180gr. XTP's through it, seated over 7.5gr. Unique and Fed. LP primers and let me tell you, I was impressed! This puppy can easily put 5 shots into 1" with open sights from a rest @ 25 yds. Btw, I used the Federal primers for no other reason than they are immediately distinguishable from my small pistol primers (Winchester) and large rifle primers (Federal & Winchester) by their packaging. I also fired one alox lubed Lee 240gr. SWC TL CB out of a cold, clean bbl. and liked where it hit. After I fire the next 100 XTP's and thoroughly clean the bbl. & cyl. throats, I see what it will do with CB's: Ly. & RCBS Keith designs, the latter with a square-cut lube groove; the previously mentioned Lee TL SWC; and a Lyman #429360 (a Keith-like design, but with a smaller front driving band). I'll chronograph these and adjust my powder charge accordingly. One last thought: Unique burns quite a bit cleaner in the .44mag. than it does in the .357mag. and that's a good thing!
