Sumpin fer ju 44 Mag-nuts

[IcerUSA]

Going to take these to the range and test them out , 300 gn. Lyman 429650 SWC GC boolit , useing Titegroup at 7.5 gns. . Should be around 900 to 1000 FPS and yes I will take the crono with me to check them . :)

5240

If it checks out good it might make a nice backup to the 444 Marlin or fly solo and just get the work done by it's self . hehe

What ya think ?

Instead of 44-40 loads, step those suckers up with a good load of 296. :Fire:

[IcerUSA]

I was going to try Blue Dot next :) Then maybe some Lil'Gun . Don't have any 296 on hand to try :(

Well them 7.5 gn. loads sucked , they were running in the 1000FPS range and were 6 inches or better at 25 yds. Back to the drawing board . LOL

Loves Lee 310 and 18.5 2400.

Best 50 yard group the gun has ever shot.

The Lee 310 GC ahead of 19 gr. of Lil'Gun chrono's at 1350 fps. in my 7 1/2" Redhawk.

OK...OK, 44man , I tried some 296 and they did well at 25yds off the bag for me , going to up the charge a tad to see it the group gets tighter. Will also be trying some H110 and Lil'Gun also . So far I like it , a little zip to it but manageable . :)

I use tite group in a .41 with the jbullets. I was using 7gr with a 210 jhp for around 1100fps. They were fairly accurate. Switching to cast, the groups went way south. Titegroup and cast in bigbore revolvers don't seem to mix.

I would be interested in how the lil gun works. I have a lb and haven't really given it a work out. Might have to wander out to the garage and do some thunking.

[44man]

Keith, I use 21.5 gr's of 296 with the Lee 310 and the LBT 320 boolits. I also use the Federal 150 primer. Magnum primers make the groups 3X larger. I have never had accuracy with a mag primer in the .44 or .45. Might be OK if it is super cold out. I have tested primers in the .44 since 1956 and the standard primer is better.
TC, I was shooting beer cans at 200 yd's with my load out of my SRH.

[IcerUSA]

Did up some more for the 44 with 296 , shot about the same , also did some H110 and Lil'Gun and all 3 loads hit at POA , the H110 and Lil'Gun where at start loads do there is room to play with them also , so my assessment is that those 3 powders will give me alot to try out here in the near future as rifle deer season starts Thursday here and I'll have the 44 with me just incase I decide to use it instead of the 444 or 45-70 :) .
