8 grains of 231 and a 255 RNFP was super accurate in my Uberti 45 Colt Peacemaker. But it was hard on the recoil shield at the point where the firing pin came through the frame. It kept peening the firing pin hole until the primer would flow back into the small depression and started locking up the gun. I had to tig weld up the hole and redrill for the firing pin. I backed off to 7.2 grains of 231 which didnt seem as accurate for me. But I'll bet that Smith can handle the 8 grains just fine
