Just bought a Ruger New Model Blackhawk & I'm looking for recipes.
So far I loaded a 200 gr Hornady XTP over 8.5 gr of Universal.
OAL 1.600. I took that load to the range today & hot dang it was pretty good.
I did better with that than a box of Ten-X factory ammo. I was surprised at the lack of a kick. I'm used to .38 & .357. The 45 has a little more kick than a 38. But full bore .357 ammo kicks harder than the 45 stuff I shot today.
For powder I have Universal, Titegroup & AA5. Any recipes using one of those would be appreciated.
Thanks!
