Home Forums Reloading Handgun Reloading reloading the 45 colt

I found an accuracy load in an old Lyman handbook from around 1970. It is 8 grains of Unique under a 250 grain bullet. I have been loading 255 grain hard lead bullets with 8 grains of Unique for use in my 4-5/8" barrel Ruger Blackhawk. That load shoots better than I can and doesn't stress the revolver or me. I have lots of Unique, H110, and 4227. I can try the others when the Unique is gone.
