Which one? All I remember from their manuals is that the data is for solid frame revolvers only.
I can't be of much help as I've never messed with black powder. Even in cap and ball revolvers I used Pyrodex, which you can find data for metallic cartridges with that if you wanted. The only sources I have for black powder data is in Lyman #34 and a little bit in Philip Sharpe's "Complete Guide to Handloading". I use very light charges of Bullseye for my hinged frame H&Rs and IJs, but I'm not guaranteeing it's a good idea.
