Guys,
Generally speaking, .44 specal loads are pretty mild when compared to .44 mag loads. I want to approximate mag velocities (@ 800-1000 fps) using .44 special brass, and the Lee 310gr GC bullet.
Here's the deal. I have a Taurus m-44 stainless that will not accept magnum length loads using the Lee bullet. They are simply too long at the ojive, and impinge on throat of the chambers. I do not wish to alter the gun. I do not own any .44 spl guns, so no worries there.
Can anyone suggest any PROVEN loads they have used? I thought I'd just start with minimum mag loads, but decided to check in here first. I don't need any real rompem-stompem loads, just something to give a bit of penetration with this revolver.
As a note, I've fired this gun with some pretty warm 240-250gr loads without any trouble. I'm just looking for a shorter OAL.
Can anyone help me out?
