Have started using BD as I got a keg cheap long ago. All was well in 357 but the data in the Lyman CB Handbook for the 44mag is a different story. Load listed for 245 gr bullet is 15-18.4 gr. Older Hercules handbooks show from 14.3 to 16.6 as max (I didn't dig out the old books until I got back from the range). I am loading the RCBS 44-250KT and with 16 gr it is probably near max, heavy recoil and sticky extraction. Don't know if BD has changed over the years, the powder I have is probably 30 years old, but was properly stored. and I don't think a 2% increase in bullet weight would account for my results.
I guess my warning would be to consult more than one source if possible for load recipes.
