fellas would anyone have PDF links or be willing to scan pages from load manuals for 44 special that they have? I have hornady 2001 manual, Lyman 50th edition(also the online options like hodgon and alliant) but I was trying to find some of the other publishers and older editions as well. I have enough loads on hand but its more a project on the 44 special itself, getting an assemblage of historical printed data.
Castpics has load info and the source.
Send me a pm with your email and if I have time today I’ll make you a PDF of all I got for 44 special I got an app for that
Thanks Martin Luber and PM sent Cast Outlaw
Might I suggest the loadbooks one book one caliber. I have one for most of the calibers I load including 44 special.
Lyman cast handbook maybe hodgedon.com
Those who would trade freedom for safety deserves neither and will lose both

Lots of cast bullet 44 Special load data here. Pressure tested, and reliable.
The Alliant powder (former Hercules) website has 6 published loads for cast bullets and 1 for swaged.

The biggest waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn't care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions.
There are people who, for all the evidence presented to them, do not have the ability to understand.

What book is this printed in? 7.8 gr Unique is way out of SAAMI spec, correct?
I printed this out when I got my GP-100 in 44 Spec and use it.
Thanks fellas!
Well the book name is listed. Lymans cast bullet handbook. I'd assume this data being '+P' level probably has a caveat on the previous page for use in appropriate guns. maybe what the '*' symbol is denoting for each entry.
From page 167 of that manual:
"Loads marked with an asterisk (*) are maximum loads and should not be exceeded under any circumstances."
