Got a new Blackhawk, seems to be more picky than the other 44's. I would like to get it going this week. I have 190gr, 250gr, and 275gr Lead bullets and 300 gr XTPs.
I have Titegroup, Bullseye, Unique, Universal, 2400, H-110, 296, possibly HP-38... but i don't see it right now.
I'm also real low on Large MAGNUM Primers.
Either Special or Mag brass.

Would prefer something over 900fps, and grouping nicely so I can hunt with it out to at least 50yds.
I've have tried several things already. Books i'm using is the Lyman Cast 4th edition, and Lyman 48th & 50th.
Just wondering if anyone has some pet loads I can look at.

Thank you Gentlemen.

Have you checked you cylinder throats
Check out Fermin Garza one of the nicest guys to talk with. He makes nice sights and opens cylinder throats. Opening cylinder throats to match your bullet diameter helps accuracy. Rugers tend to be tight. You can find him on Facebook and single action forums. He goes by 2 Dogs
I need to send him a few cylinders to open up.
He also helped design a new rear sight that Ronnie Wells makes.
If you dont know, Ronnie builds some awesome grip frames for Ruger single actions.

.44 RUGER cylinders...tight???

NONSENSE.

Study up, beginner.


Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.

Its worth a check, doesn’t take long. My 44’s are good to go.
One 45 is really bad. My 32’s equally bad. I haven’t measured my 41.
With Ruger you never know and its a pretty simple check.
Start with the simple and move forward.
