nothing wrong with the classic Keith load or 7.5 grains of unique.

:D
Drop 5.0 gr. of bullseye into a case put a bullet of 185 to 260 gr. on top and enjoy...This works for my 44-40...44 Special...44 Mag...45 Colt in rifles or pistols of modern steel like EMF, Marlin, Ruger or Rossi.

I use 240 gr SWC and 7.0 grs of Unique in my Marlin 1894P. Nice shooting load - my daughter likes it too.
