This load will have acceptable velocity in the snubby, but with a rather loud, deep, throaty bark and huge orange fireball. My shooting buddy used to call this load out of our 2 1/2" Model 19s "The Attention Getter"
It will really shine out of your Big Boy with much less bark and flash
Just make sure that you start 10% lower and work your way up with your component mix in your firearm
For the mid/light load, I use 150-158 grain hard cast SWCs over 6 grains of unique and a standard primer. This is what I plink with
The only thing that I load lighter than that is my HBWCs, but that is hardly a plinking bullet. Soft swagged HBWCs are expensive when you can find them.

I believe I have that exact same Model 19 in 1/2": is yours a -3, by chance? How do you describe the bluing on yours?
Was that by chance a Police Service Weapon at one time?
I love mine: with a companion Model 66-1 in 4" I find them both shooting to almost the same impact points at the range with all but the hottest loads.
Cheers!
