What you're wanting is mid level loads. Like the 10 grains unique mentioned. There is a handloader magazine or two that has articles on those. I have one I think. If ya want I can pic the info for ya.
That would be dandy, thank you!

GeoDude, magnum cases with standard primers. American Select is my absolute favorite cast bullet powder. It fills cases extremely well, and is more forgiving on pressure than Bullseye or Red Dot.
Congratulations on your new SBH, you’re going to find that it is a fun and sturdy handgun that will shoot just about any sane load. And best of all, it will do it for so long you will someday pass it down to a worthy heir.
Right on both counts. I have put plenty of factory through it this week (justified as creating empty brass to reload) and really like it. It has quickly become my favorite gun to shoot. I even ordered leather and an extended grip and plan to make this my main woods gun. So, yes, I have found it fun and sturdy.
As for passing down to a worthy heir, my son has always had his eye on my customized Colt Combat Elite Defender. Not anymore. You know that mouth open, drooling, blank stare a 19 year old gets when he sees a particular girl? That's what he looks like when he sees the Blackhawk. Love is so fickle at that age...

Must be nice, my kids just roll their eyes at my old man guns then go back to shoot their Tupperware.....
