2 1/2" Barrel+360 gr PB+? Powder & ? Wt.=1,000 FPS

[Southern Shooter]

Ok, I am giving this topic a life of it's own. I have tossed it around in other threads. But, I want to address this directly and hear from folks experienced with all sorts of powders.

Missing part of the equation: Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan .454 Casull 2 1/2" Barrel + 360 gr PB + ? Powder & ? Wt.=1,000 FPS

Which powders and what weights would you use to hit 1,000 FPS with this length of barrel and plain base bullet? And, why? Educate me.

Thanks

I would run with what's very proven for heavy magnum loads in heavy revolvers: W296/H110. 24.0 grains should get you there at modest (relatively) pressures.

(I'm going from memory here since my use of that revolver is occasional only, but I think 1250 was what I was hitting with 320 cast GC bullets in the Alaskan.)
