Default .45 Colt Loads with Unique

I've loaded .45 Colt with 230 grain lead cast round nose bullets for years. Started out with 7.5 gr. of Unique and worked up to 9.0. I get the best accuracy right there. The 7.5 seems a bit light and the 9.0 doesn't "feel" hot.

Note that its for a Ruger Blackhawk. I've looked high and low and can't find a whole lot of data for 230's and Unique.

Just looking for an opinion re. using the 9.0 load in a S&W model 1950.
