This is for Ruger Redhawk and a Ruger 3 screw Super Blackhawk.
The bullet: Berry’s 220 grain standard plated flat point; max velocity (according the Berry’s) = 1250 fps.
Berry’s website specifies to use cast bullet data for load data.
I’m using 2400 powder.
I cannot find 220 grain cast bullet load data, but in the Lyman Pistol and Revolver Handbook (copyright 1978) it has 215 grain cast with 2400.
Starting load: 20 grains for 986 fps. (Max: 25 grains; 1310 fps.)
The bullets are plated with no cannelure and I’ve used them many times for several calibers. They’re fine at low velocities with a nominal crimp.
I’m asking the brain trust because I’m using data for 215 cast while I’ll actually be shooting 220 grain plated.
Thnx
