8.5 grains Unique with 240/250 grain cast SWC loads for light loads.

10 grains Unique with 240/250 grain cast SWC loads for mid level/everyday loads. These will work perfect for Idaho Mule deer.

22.5 grains H110 with 300 to 320 grain cast SWC loads for anything heavy, such as elk or dinosaurs.


Those three loads will do pretty much everything you will ever need to do with a .44.

In reality, 95% of all your needs can be met with the mid level, 10 grain Unique load.

The 8.5 grain load is a good one to work on pure marksmanship fundamentals without worrying too much about recoil.
