    Need a load for a heavy weight in 44 Mag....

    Need a load for a heavy weight boolit in .44 Mag.

    I just aquired an LBT 432-320-LFN mould. Can't find any load data in any of my manuals for this weight boolit. Tried the search function here but came up empty.

    Powders on hand are H110 and 296. These will be shot from a Ruger Redhawk and/or Contender 10" barrel and used for hunting deer size game.

    Any and all suggestions are appreciated. TIA

    I shoot 21.5 gr of H110 with a 310gr Lee. If I had a 320gr, I would probably start at around 19-19.5gr and work up carefully.

    Maybe try the new AA(?) 3100MP, it's a little slower than H110, and 296, and Li'l Gun. H110, 296 and Li'l Gun all run out of case capacity in a .44 mag with 300 grain or more bullets, and 4227 keeps up with them in these boolit weights.
    We need somebody/something to keep the government (cops and bureaucrats too) HONEST (by non government oversight).

    Every "freedom" (latitude) given to government is a loophole in the rule of law. Every loophole in the rule of law is another hole in our freedom. When they even obey the law that is. Too often government seems to feel itself above the law.

    We forgot to take out the trash in 2012, but 2016 was a charm! YESSS!
