265gr WFN gc's with 2400?

[Bagdadjoe]

Anybody got load data for this bullet? I have a few left, loaded some with #9 and wanted to load the rest with 2400.
thanks!

In what cartridge?

[Bagdadjoe]

Double "duh"....44 magnum.....geez, guess I thought you guys were psychic.

I don't know for certain but I bet working up to 20 to 21 gr would be fine.
Use data for a similar weight jacketed bullet.

I just yesterday shot some 265grain RD Boolits over the chronograph

4" Redhawk, 17 grains of 2400, winchester brass, WLPP got me 1175 FPS. Good 10 yard accuracy.

Lyman 49
start load is at 16.5 @937 fps
top end 18.3 @ 1105 fps
this is for a jacketed bullet

this is with 2400

Having pressure tested Hercules and Alliant 2400 under a 270 gr 429640HP and a 270 gr 429244 I suggest 19.5 gr of either be considered max to keep psi's at or just under under the SAAMI MAP for the 44 Magnum.
