I agree with Salmoneye on 10 manuals and 30 powders. I have a Blackhawk 357 same barrel as yours and I shoot it a lot. As with him, I like 5.0 to 5.3 gr of Red Dot behind 158 gr LSWC. I shoot those a bunch. Also like 7.0 to 7.4 gr of Accurate#5 with a 158 plated bullet. A friend gave me about 5 lbs of Red Dot when he quit reloading shot so I kinda fell into it. Love that Blackhawk, bought it new in the 70's.
