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.
What we need is some of the guys that know the inner workingness of the loading companies of the 60's to the 70's to come on here with their knowlegement and wiseness and elaborate on the magical loads for the 44 Magnum.
