I just loaded up a few of my 1st cast of PC and GC devistators to try in my 44 mag Niteguard. I also loaded up my free box of 180g XTPs that hornady sent me when I bought my bushmaster dies.
Both 240g and 180g loads have 6g of trailboss in them. I just wanted to find some low powered loads that will make this pistol fun to shoot again. After about a dozen shots my knuckles are bleeding from the recoil. I can hit pop cans one after the other at 30 yards with full house loads but would like to WANT to shoot it more often so I hope trailboss will cut down on the recoil quite a bit to make it feel like cowboy loads in my 45 colt/vaquero.
I tried trailboss in my 375 Rum and it recoiled like a 243 but it averaged 12" groups at a 100 yards. I'm hoping trail boss can hold a descent group to 30-40 yards with my Niteguard.
My BH is around 14.3, COWW and 2% pewter. Was planning on using these in my 77/44 but wanted to load up a few and try them. Don't know if the HP will open and lower speeds? If not it will still put a big hole in whatever it hits and have a lot deeper penatration.
Has anyone tried trailboss in 44 mag and how did it do?
