This was in one of the new mid-frame sized Ruger Blackhawks chambered in 44SP and was rated at 25Kpsi. I really like my pair of those 44SP Blackhawks!

A slightly lesser charge was discussed in Handloader #236 as a Category 3 level load at 25Kpsi, deemed suitable in modern N-frame 44 Specials like the 624.
This is kind of what I was looking for. Guess I need to get those copies of Handloader.

This is for having in the gun walking out to the deer blind. I'd probably fire two cylinder fulls of it to see where it shoots and to get a feel for it.

Thanks!
