Doctari those figured look about right, certainly in the range of what I do with my Blackhawk so I don't think you're flirting with disaster.

Weshoot2's suggestion of a starting load for 300gr loads is a good one. To quote a famous sixgunner "each sixgun is a law unto it's self". What works in my or someone elses Blackhawk may not be safe in yours. Using 310gr LBT bullets I've had to go substantially above Weshoots starting suggestion and still don't get to 1,300 fps, cases also still fall out of the cylinders too. But you should still start low, use a chronograph and work up slowly. Better safe than sorry.
