What is the most accurate load you have found in the Ruger Blackhawk? I am specifically seeking a hollow point varmint type load. Anyone try swaging down .312(.32 Mag.) bullets? Anything with the newer 90 grain JHP? Thanks.

Tanker try as a starting load 100jhp & 11.6gns of H4227 (ADI 2205).I found 13gns works well

6-shots at 100-yards.
Firearm: Ruger Blackhawk in .30 Carbine with open sights
Case: Remington
Primer: Remington 6-1/2
Powder: 15.4 grains of 2400
Bullet: Sierra 110 grain Round Nose
Velocity: 1703 FPS @ 15' from muzzle

I'mpretty fond on 15 gr of H110 and the 110 gr sierra, you can probably load it hotter, but this functions in both my M1, AMT, and taurus, and gives much cleaner burn than 2400

Have any of you tried the newer lighter hollow points? I have used the Speer 110 Varmint but it is built rather tough. Any good findings with the Speer Plinker? I was going to try swaging down the Speer or Hornady .312 85gr. JHP. Any experience here? My intended use is for praire dogs. Accuracy is critical as well as explosive expansion. Thanks.

Still could use some info. here concerning the more explosive bullets. I know some guys are swaging down 32 mag. bullets but I don't know what kind of results they obtained.
