lee TL 430- 240 load data

Have any good 44sp loads with unigue or 4759? Just bought a 6cavity mold do keith loads work good with this design?

[IDSS]

I have good luck with that one loaded with "Skeeter's Load"; 7.5g of Unique, tumble lubed and crimped in the last groove. I get a chronographed average of 902 fps from a 4 5/8 Ruger SBH.

What are you shooting?

x2 on the Skeeter load. I have had decent success with 7 gr Unique in my 2 1/2" Bulldog. Stout, but not overbearing.

Shooting them out my 45/8 BH and my 3" vaquero.

7.0 - 7.5gr. Unique is a good load for that CB. I've found that dispersion increases in my SBH (10.5" bbl.) if I exceed 1,050 fps.

[Animal]

I had very good accuracy over 5 grains of Red Dot, crimped in the top groove with 50/50 COWW/SOWW and 1% tin. I used it in my CA 4in Target Bulldog, so recoil was a bit more stout than I wanted, but accuracy was great.

[Combat Diver]

I've got that mold in a 2 cav form and use Unique (IIRC 6.7-7 grs, but deployed right now and no log book with me) out of my older 3" Bulldog. No issues with the load or bullet.

Combat Diver thanks for your service my children sleep safe because of you! Ill try 7grs of Unique Im hoping this mold is more accurate than my keith mold.

Can't help with 4759

But in my .44 magnum Contender, that Unique load, or 7 to 8 grains of Herco is pleasant to shoot and either groups in sub 2" at 50 yards from my Contender. ( Using the Lee 240 TL bullet. )
