2400 is much better for 200gr bullets in the 44 mag. At least that’s my experience.
H-110/WW-296 are better suited for heavier bullets 240gr and up.
Agreed.
I loaded some 180 grain JHC Sierras on top of a max load of H110 and talk about muzzle flash and blast.
Yup. Exciting handgun load LOL. Erode forcing cone ( takes a while but a bud did his M29, so had to rebarrel ). Topstrap gets a line from em too. Big whoop
Blast and flash is bad. But accuracy has been great and deer didn't like em.
Most of my deer shot w 180s. Couple w 200s. Ruger and Smith wheelies.
240s w max ball powder were less annoying to shoot.
Dunno what im gonna do now, bad wrist, maybe bone replacement. Proly end up shooting 44 special.loads.
Have a SBH, wanted anothrr 629.....but not now.
Dont have a chrono but figured in a rifle i wouldnt shoot less than 240gr. Only deer i shot w 44 rifle was w a 66 fingergroove Ruger and used hard Norma factory load.
Whistled through at 65 yards, spine and shoulder hit ( was coming down a bit lf hill ). Deer backflipped and had all 4.legs up. Boom and a jump to white belly, kinda cool.
