    First off what are you shooting them out of? My old Lyman book has the 230gr in it but its at my old house. However I shoot 9.5gr of W231 out of it. Its a Ruger blackhawk. You can load out of the Thompson contender side of the Lyman 48th book for a blackhawk. But if you wanna be safe load with the cast 230gr data and you'll be fine.

    I'm with him, what is your ultimate goal?

    Historically one is .451 and one is .452.... xtreme identifies those as ACP.

    I was always told to load extreme with lead data.... if you are, I bet you can make some great cowboy action loads.
