if i had a lick of sense i would let this thing go away. but i thought i would pass along what originally got me to post.
keeping in mind i was wondering about 22grains of 2400 behind a 240grain bullet in 44magnum.
Hornady
7th edition
max load 21.2 grains
in a thomson/contender 22.8 grains
in a rifle 21.5 grains
going back to my lyman 3dr edition cast bullet handbook,circa 1980
max is 23.4 behind a 429421 cast bullet.
times have changed.
i am still trying to find out why that thompson contender has that load as opposed to running it in a super redhawk.
and yes, i do understand the difference between a jacketed bullet and lead.
