semperfi71,
If you don't have it already definately buy, borrow, beg or steal a copy of Handloader #260, June 2009, for Pearce's article on loading the 44SP in the new Blackhawk. Great info there. I have tested several of the loads and they are right on the money.

It really is a handy field gun. You've picked a good load for it. My favorite pet load is the Speer240 lswc, 8.0gr WSF and a WLP primer for about 1050fps (it does not seem particularly primer brand sensitive). Shooting offhand it will tear out the black center of a B8 target at 50 yards. What more can you ask for from a plinking/general purpose load? Yep, it is a gun that gets carried often. I may have to look for a SS one, both of mine are blued.
