Load 'em up, and shoot away!!!
what's to loose? If they aren't as accurate as you like then try something else. My loading bench has been dismantled and stored for a few years, but when I did load, my '72 vintage Super Blackhawk did just fine with my own cast bullets. Lyman # 429215 210 gr gas checked made from the Lyman #2 alloy, and sized to .429
I don't remember the powder make and charge, but you need to work your loads up to their best yourself.
I always found that experimenting was a big part of the fun of handloading. I gotta get back to it soon!!!
