Well, you didn't say which Blackhawk you were interested in,, so here is what I have so far.
According to the RENE Guide, the 357 had a rollmark change around serial number of 37-94649, which was in 2008. It also appears that most of the SA line went to Newport in 2008.
The Redhawks by somewhere around 503-59759 which was in 2009.
As for the M77 MKII's,, there are pages & pages of so many variations of these guns, that my skimming over them, I wasn't able to find a timeframe for them.

The Newport address probably went on the M77 Mark II sometime after the last revision to the Ruger Reference which was 2010. I remember noting the change, but would need to look through some old issues of RENE to pinpoint it.
