Longpath,
I'll be sending these loads down a Ruger Redhawk and a Super Blackhawk -- both are 7.5 inch barrels. I've been loading a 240SWC over 8gr. of Unique for general shooting purposes, but I wasn't sure that it would be sufficient for hunting. I have heard of hunting loads using 9gr Unique, but I would need second (or third) opinions before I took that load into the woods.

Since I load on a Dillon 550, I am leaning towards the smoother feeding W296. As I just said to Longpath, one gun is a Blackhawk, but the other is a Redhawk. I don't want to have to wrestle that Redhawk to the ground after pulling the trigger (Dad has the Blackhawk and for all I know he likes wrestling it) and I don't want to shoot the thing with loads that are going to loosen parts up. Is that 25.0gr of W296 the starting load? And just what do they mean by not reducing the load? I'm not talking about loading it down to paper-punching power, but I would like to get it down to about 1200-1300fps.
Thanks for all this help guys!!!
Jack
