I can honestly say that i have never done any load development when it came to pistol loading.
Back when i had a Ruger Bisley blackhawk in 45 colt and shot heavies, I'd just give it a heavy dose of 231 or 296 but kept it with in max listing.
Nowadays I'm all about the most "pews" per pound.
So here is the question.
Are pistols as finiky as rifles when it come to powder type, charge weight, bullet weight, etc. pertaining to accuracy?
Or is it more of a how hot do you wanna run it and accuracy is just whatever it is going to be?
Having never shot pistol loads from a rest, and being a mediocre shot offhand at best i ask upon those more knowledgeable than i for enlightenment.
