Lyman 454424 over 8gr. Unique. 7 grains if it is to be just a day of plinking empty beer cans. I don't hunt with it nor do I rely on it for self defense so why load the snot out of it? Colt New Service, 5½" barrel.
Thats what I'm after. Thanks all.
Yup, 8.0 of Unique for 250/255 gr cast or 7.0 gr over a cast (or swaged)230gr RN (ACP bullet) have been my "go to" loads for accuracy, not necessarily power.
The 230gr load is the one I have used to teach many young ladies and little kids to shoot SAA revolvers.
