I was going to recommend something similar - I'd probably bump the powder load up to 10.0 grains of Unique for a tad more power. I often shoot that load in my SA Rugers.

In the process of developing one myself. Since I have a fixed sight gun with a 4 5/8" barrel it has to print close to a full power load. I find 300 grain bullet (many to choose from) with 11 grains of Unique in a Casull case is a very nice combo. Tried it today at the range and got good results.

I recommend you check this out......Reduced Recoil Loads
I e-mailed Hodgdon and they confirmed this formula would work in my .460 with jacketed bullets also if you don't want to use lead.

It's so fluffy that a one pound can comes with only nine ounces of powder.

LOL.....I had never used TB before I tried it for reduced loads in my .460. After getting confirmation from Hodgdon that it would work in the .460 with jacketed bullets I went to my local gun shop and asked for a pound. The clerk comes back with two cans. I said "no, I just wanted ONE pound." He chuckled and pointed to the weight on the jug. Told me "I knew what you wanted, but I do this to everybody that ask for a POUND of TB". Still........by the pound, it ain't anymore expensive as any other powder

Hell, I shoot 9g Unique under a 255g RNFP in my 25-7. Your Casull can shoot anything between full power and .45 colt.
Your POI is going to be all over the place, but knowing that ahead of time, you can adjust the sights for a lower power load.
Only advice I'd offer is to use Casull cases to avoid the carbon ring in the cylinders from a shorter Colt case.
