Does anyone have a recommendation on finding load data for a 44 mag LBT 260 gr WFN to be used for deer hunting. Bullets cast wwts for a pb or gc. Would like about 1200fps.

thanks

I shoot the RD 265 gr with 22 gr of 296, Felix lube and a Fed 150 primer. It is stupid accurate and will do 1-1/4" at 100 if I do my part.
I don't know the velocity but must be near 1350. Dumps deer like gangbusters.
I use a SBH and the same load shoots super from Whitworth's S&W 29.
I never chronographed it, no need to know or try anything else. Your LBT should be right there for accuracy.
I size with a .432" Lee die to remove excess lube because I smear the lube into the grooves with my fingers.
If you use a mag primer, expect groups to triple in size.
Here is 5 shots at 50 and the can at 100. I was low so I aimed higher for the last shot.
