Anyone have some loads for the 445 for a Dan Wesson

[69daytona]

I have brass and lots of boolits for the 44mag, looking at buying a 445 this Thursday if I can talk the guy into selling it.
Anyway looking for some loads for a gas check 300 gr and the 240 hornady xtp.
Don't want to blow up his gun so just something around 1400fps.

Have h110, 4227, AA1680, ill gun, and lots of different rifle powders.

Greetings
I shoot a 414 SM. So about the same... But I found my DW to like 1680 with heavy boolits (265 and up) far better.

This is always a good place to look.

Bullet Weight 240 GR. HDY XTP
Starting Loads Maximum Loads
H110 1.925"
29.0 1,640 33.0 1,798

Hodgdon Lil'Gun 1.925"
31.0 1,525 32.0 1,682

For the 300 gn cast I looked at Quickload and it seemed like 1680 might be a great option.
28gns of AA1680 should give around 1430fps @ 34kpsi
This is not load data, just a computer guesstimate.

300-325 grain bullets with AA1680 will usually bring the .445 to life. worked loads for Wesson for friend once. have recently been playing with 'tender barrel i rechambered. make it an elephant gun with heavy slugs,lol, the .44 SWIFT dont impress anything but the chronograph

I have the hornady manual, doesn't show anything for cast and can't find anything for 300-340gr go cast. Loaded a few 240 xtp with 35 gr A1680 but have all these beautiful cast boolits sitting around waiting to fly. If I could find my quickloads disc I would be good, I hate moving.

300 gr XTP and large amounts of 1680/680
