Anybody try this combo? I started casting and loading this boolit for both 38 spl and 357. I have some real decent +p loads for 38 that I am happy with. In the magnum case I worked up to max load of h110 based on lyman #4 and I'm still not super happy with it. The rounds are plenty accurate and show no signs of pressure (although I am using federal srp) but I am getting quite a bit of unburnt powder left in the cases.
I bought a lb of lil because it was available and a magnum powder. Looking at Hodgdon's site and old posts here it seems lil is just ok in 44mag, but really shines in heavy 357. Is H's data correct that the pressure is that low? I know this powder seemed to have some growing pains early on, but they still market it and provide data for pistols. I would think they have it ironed out by now.
I would much rather save my h110/296 and 2400 for the 44mag anyway, just in case our current situation continues.
Thanks,
Ken
