I don't know about starting and max, but I shoot a very similar bullet cast from a Mountain Mold in my Blackhawk. 9.0gr. Unique, 12.0gr. Blue Dot and 11.0gr. AA#5 all work well for a all round load that is silhouette accurate with plenty of punch. All just subsonic from my 5 inch revolver.

Use Speer 270gr Gold Dot data and you can do the same with the Lyman Manual data.  I have it's sister in a PB 280gr .45 mold that is the slickest and easiest mold I have by far.  They shoot great (even unsized) with LBT blue soft.
