Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Cowboy Action Shooting Colt SAA unique load with xtp bullets

I loaded some at 8gr with 250 xtp.. Wanted something I could shoot in my governor and my rugers. My ruger loves the load. Id say its a hair hotter than a 45 acp. Governor shoots them high left and shoots acp hard ball dead on. I wanna get some 255gr keiths for my Blackhawk but the xtps seem to be fine for now

I shoot 8 grns of Unique with the XTP bullet out of my Blackhawk.


Used to shoot 9 grns.

Wile I don't own any SAA's Unique has been the powder I use most frequently. 7.5 gr. (the Skeeter Skelton load) with 200 gr. RNFP in .44 Special and 9.0 gr. in .44 Magnum, both have shown themselves to be very satisfactory loads in my experience.
