44 Magnum Brass Data

[DR Owl Creek]

This is data I have accumulated over a period of time, while trying to work-up the most accurate and consistent loads that I can. I thought I would share this with you.

All brass was trimmed to 1.275" +/-.001":

Federal (10 pcs): Average Weight 116.6 gr, ES 1.8 gr
Remington (10 pcs): Average Weight 109.3 gr, ES 4.3 gr
Starline (100 pcs): Average Weight 111.0 gr, ES 1.3 gr
Winchester (400 pcs): Average Weight 110.5 gr, ES 6.3 gr

Please add any other relevant data you have for 44 Magnum brass, such as other brands, case neck thickness, case capacity, number of times reloaded, problems if any, etc. Loading comments or quirks with this cartridge would also be appreciated.

Thanks

Dave
