I practice by running around the parking lot with my Ruger in a chest rig until I'm winded, run up to the firing line, spin in place three times until I'm dizzy, and shoot at six 7" targets at 25 yards. I've practiced enough that I can now hit 4 out of 6 rounds. Good enough for Mr. Bear!
I shoot a similar pistol. It is a 5-1/2” Uberti 357 mag revolver, with the reduced throw hammer.
Looked for a Ruger Blackhawk for quite a few years (never found one) and finally stumbled across my Uberti. It is absolutely beautiful and shoots same. Only thing I would change is the sight.
A lot of people complain about the recoil from the 357 mag, but mine is very heavy and I don’t load it to max specs. Really enjoy shooting it.
Your Buffalo Bore ammo is max + . But the Ruger can handle anything, built way beyond normal specs.
My standard load is with Hornady 158 gr XTP bullets and 8.6 gr of Accurate no. 5. And Starline brass like your illustration.

And with a Ruger Blackhawk, stoked with Buffalo Bore? I think you have it pretty well covered and are in the top .01% of all shooters.
Go forth in peace...
