One of the cowboy action matches I attend features a bullseye style competition (one-handed) using single action revolvers, shot at close range at tiny targets. I have a Ruger Blackhawk in .357 Magnum that I will be using in this match. So I am trying to work up a load that gives very small groups at close range, 7 to 10 yards.
I will be using either 125 or 158 RNFP home cast lead bullets from Lee molds. My tests to date with Titegroup and Bullseye powder show that this revolver seems to like powder charges around 3.3 grains for both bullets. But I would like to shrink the groups more if possible.
What other powders besides Bullseye and Titegroup would you recommend trying if you wanted to put each shot through the same hole with those bullets at close range?
Thanks!
