Hi. I'm looking for some load data for:

45 Colt with a 250gr. lead round-nose-flat-point bullet sized .452 in a Ruger Blackhawk with a 4 3/4" barrel.

I'd like something at the low end of the "Ruger Only" or at the top end of the standard 45 Colt loads. In other words warmer than standard 45 Colt, but still fun to shoot. I'm thinking 1100-1200 fps or so.

I've got a bunch of cases already primed with REGULAR large pistol primers (not magnum primers). Those OK you think?

Also would like Lil'gun load data for a 230 grain bullet in 45 Colt if there is such a thing.
 
About 24 grains of Lil'Gun ought to do it. (It only takes half that much Herco to do the same thing, but the recoil will be pretty fierce.)

My favorite "low end of the Ruger Only" load with 230-255 grain bullets is 7.5 grains of Red Dot. Ten grains of Unique is another classic hot load, but I haven't tried that one yet.
