    I did a little playing around recently with my Super Blackhawk 45 Colt. I have a mess of Xtreme 255gr FN plated bullets I got from Wes. 8.6 Gr of unique with those Xtremes is a beautiful combination out of that Ruger.

    when u said light loads my thinking was my cowboy action loads. Ya'lls def. of light is a bit different than mine.
    200 grain cast bullet over about 6 grains Trail Boss...sadly gone for now.....you can go to 5.5 but it sux, 6 grains ignites better,and I like that I can see them large grains in that large case while setting the bullet in place.

    ..most of u won't like this load it smokes the cases but...it's light !!
