Are you sure your chronograph is working right? 9000 + fps sounds kinda fast...

I use the same load with a WLP primer in both my ROA 5 1/2 SS with an R&D conversion and Blackhawk Convertible.  It shoots to point of aim with the fixed sights of the ROA and I have zeroed my Blackhawk with the same load.  Enjoy!  I have put close to a thousands rounds of this load thru the ROA with no problem.
