My favorite .45 Colt load (in a Ruger) is 7.5 grains of Promo or Red Dot with a 230 grain truncated cone bullet. I haven't chronographed it, but QuickLoad says it's good for about 1050 to 1100 fps. The same data should be a good starting point for a "light" .44 Magnum load -- but still a lot hotter than a .44 Special. Red Dot is a very fast powder, so all the powder should be burnt before the bullet even clears the cylinder gap.
