I used H 110 in a black hawk 10” years ago and it worked pretty will with a Hornady 240 SP. (24.4 grains) I found that a heavy roll crimp worked best with it. Old timers told me that so I tried it.

I have been shooting .44 Magnum for many years, and loading for them. However, I settled on just two loads years ago. A 270 grain GDSP over H110 for my Marlin 1894 rifle..............., What kind of velocity are you getting with that 270 GDSP and do you have any reports of on-game performance? I tried that in my original Ruger Redhawk and didn't get any expansion on deer. Need to look up that load.....but I did not have it Chrono'd. Your move to 240 HP for handgun is wise.

19.0grs of 2400 and a 240 has been very accurate in 6-7 different 44’s for me.
and I like that combination as well. I am getting short on 2400, but have a lot of H110 in the cabinet. 24.0grs H110 is good in mine with 240’s 21.5grs with the 270 gold dot
When I die I hope I don't start voting democrat.

I get consistent 1600 fps with the 270 GDSP in my Marlin 1894. It has been a reliable killer on whitetails and hogs. The degree of expansion seems to depend on what/where you hit, but with hogs I get more expansion than I do with deer. I don't shoot the 270 grain load in handguns.
I did start out with 21.5 grains H110, but found I got better accuracy with 21 grains.

I have been loading .44 Magnum for nearly 50 yrs., my load for my Ruger 77/44 was a Hornady 240gr. XTP over W296/H110. My go to revolver load is 7.5gr. Unique with a 200gr. RNFP cast bullet, a load that is accurate and pleasant to shoot. If I wanted a load with more oomph I increased the charge to 9.0gr. of Unique.

H-110/296 has been my go to powder for the 44 mag since the 80's. A great powder for real 44 magnum loads
I got banned on another web site for a debate that happened on this site. That's a first

Excellent results w H110, WW296 or AA9.....
W 180, 200.and 240gr JHP.
Smiths and Rugers.
Blast is nasty w the 180s and there is some flame cut.
But accuracy was great and deer went in the freezer.
I always ran my 44s maxd.
Older and arthritis, proly need to back em off a bit.
And proly cant use those powders.

for the first time in over a year, I found some H110 for sale and available on the Hodgden website. A timely tip this morning from Frogman43. Thanks!

Bear in mind the minimums for H110 and WW296. Ignition gets spotty if you go below that, then you end up with a LOT of unburned powder granules all over your gun. Just a few shots will be enough to tie it up, and you're looking at a couple of hours to completely disassemble it, clean them out, and put it all back together.

If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.

Had a bunch of Blue Dot and. 240 Nosler SP on hand and bells started ringing. Loaded max 15 gr in a full lug factory comp 629 and it’s fun. Probly a bit more than 1200 but no pain. Fairly comfortable actually. Belonged to a friend of mine till he sold it.

Alliant PP300MP is almost the same as H110. Works good in my 44 Mag and my 30 carbine. It like long barrels.

I’m a huge H110 fan but if I wanted to run in the 1200s I’d have to look real hard at 4227.

I have been shooting .44 Magnum for many years, and loading for them. However, I settled on just two loads years ago. A 270 grain GDSP over H110 for my Marlin 1894 rifle, and a 240 grain LSWC with Unique for the only revolver I had left, a S&W Mountain Gun.
Recently I picked up a Ruger Redhawk, 5.5 inch barrel, and want put together a JHP load for the revolvers. I have cases, primers and bullets.
I have no need for 1400 fps, and would be more than happy with around 1200 fps.
I have H110, Unique, Blue Dot, 2400 and SR4756. What powder seems to work best out of those? With a 240 gr JSP (Zero) over 21 gr of 2400 and a WLP primer with a 4.25" barrel, I get 1188 FPS. Same bullet & barrel & primer with 24 gr of H-110 I get 1199 FPS. Should be the same with a JHP.

Good Luck on finding some! 🤬 I’ve been looking locally for a year or so.....will not pay the ridiculous prices for shipped 1 pounders, and can’t justify the 8 pounder as it’s just an experimental load! I’m in a quandary! 🤬 I used 4227 in my .44 mag. with 265 grain cast bullets with very good success! Want to try it in my 460! memtb
