I also shoot 20 grain light loads in my 58 remmie, so you're not alone, ZVP. It does help improve accuracy, and helps keep powder costs down ( although I think I'm about to blow a hole in the powder budget thanks to my getting an Uberti Cattleman for BP loads.... Smokeless just doesn't seem right in these old school guns ). I think that the original loads during the Civil War were also light, so that's in keeping with the historic feel of these guns.
