Good advice is to reduce loads by 10% and work up. In this case that would mean to start at 24.3 gr. It appears as if this might be what you did. The result is not unusual, especially considering...

My most accurate 44 Mag load is the Accurate Molds 43-240K bullet and the max load of Alliant 2400. The bullet uses conventional bullet lube. It is an excellent deer load.

When Ruger upgrades the old-style revolvers to the transfer-bar system, they return the original parts to the owner. You can then put them back and set aside the new parts to go with the gun to its...

Simple Green will etch aluminum too. Don't wash your airplane with it!
I gave a lot of thought to this conversion myself, as well as the 356 GNR. I finally decided that the 44 and 41 magnums are too good as they are.
One of the worst guns I ever owned was a Freedom Arms M83 in 454 Casull. It had a 0.002" BC gap. At the same time I owned (and still do own) a SRH, also in 454 Casull. The Ruger was more accurate...
