    My blackhawk and marlin rifle love it and its cleaner burning than the unique I use to use. I've been using 231 for over 15 years now

    9.5gr of 231 is about 2.0gr over max for old pistols and clones, so probably should only be used in smiths and rugers. I may try 7.3gr if 231, so it will be able to be shot in all of my 45 colts.

    You're right. Mine are rugers so it'll handle a little more. I load out of the old Thompson contender section of my manual.
