One excellent source for info on loading black powder pistol cartridges is Mike Venturino's book "Shooting Colt Single Actions". He has a section on smokeless powder and another for blackpowder for each caliber. If you are serious about getting into this you might want to check out either MV's book or another one like it. Loading BP is a bit trickier than using smokeless and it would probably be worth it to learn some of the tricks of the trade so that your results are more satisfying.
BTW, Lyman makes a powder measure that can be used with BP. I assume it could also be used with smokeless. Just a thought in case you get addicted.
