I had the same issue with Universal when loading 45 Colt. I got clean burning loads when I upped the charge weight though. My loads, while perfectly safe in my Blackhawk, are a little stout for an SAA. A faster powder would probably work better for you. Universal likes to be loaded to max in all the cartridges I've tried it in.
