The latter load has proven exceptionally accurate in my 5.5" Ruger Vaquero and 4" 629-4. Why WSF? Well, I have it around for shotshell loads and several other pistol cartridge loads, it works great in pistol cartridge applications like many shotgun powders do, and with the current powder shortages and with everyone else using Unique and 231, it is plentiful and easy to find. Plus, it burns a lot more cleanly for me, with less leading, and measures far better than Unique. Green Dot is also a good moderate load powder for 44 Mag light cast bullet loads, and 44 Special too.
