Hey All
I have been scouring and searching but cannot find any info for loading the following 3 cast out of my Ruger New Model Blackhawk.
(note all three came out of the same mould - just different pins). All three are powder coated with flat base and no gas check.
227 Gr SWC FP
222 Gr SWC Cup
216 Gr SWC HP
I have looked at the Hodgdon and Lyman Cast Bullet 4th Ed for recipes. Here is what I found listed that doesnt exactly match what I have.
Hodgdon
215 Gr Cast LRNFP CFE-Pistol 8.2-9.5 Gr/Titegroup 6.2-7.2 Gr
230 Gr Cast LRNFP Titegroup 5.8-6.5 Gr
250 Gr Cast LRNFP CFE-Pistol 8.4-9.2 Gr/Titegroup 5.0-6.2 Gr (threw this one as it listed CFE while the 230 Gr did not)
Lyman
230 Gr Cast Titegroup 5.3-6.7 Gr
I am trying to figure out a starting point with my 227Gr FP and work up a load and then use it for the lighter projectiles to see how they perform. Any starting suggestions would be most welcome. (NOTE- the only listed powders in both sources that I have are CFE-Pistol and Titegroup - so please do not recommend other powders as they are unobtainable right now.)
TIA
