I think I am sticking with H110

[9w1911]

I am a 44 mag shooter and have tried just about every modern powder to stuff in there accept Little Gun and HS6. But after all the testing and powder choices, 2400, 4227, Blue Bot, AA9 perform great but all a shade under the H110 in my Marlin. so I am considering just shooting H110 and letting the rest go. Just pondering.

I will also say that performance with AA9, wc820, Blue Dot, 2400 and 4227 have been great and I wont quit using them, but I am considering now just consolidating to H110 when I buy for the 44 in the future.

*I have no issue with 296 however it is just a tad more expensive than H110 which makes 0 sense

I love Win 296 myself and have been told that h110 and win 296 are exactly the same powder... so I would agree it is great. I have some lil'gun for the 500 S&W and 22 hornet but never loaded it in the 44 yet.

What's the difference between h110 and 2400? I hear they're both good, but is one better or worse in a 4" revolver?

[RobS]

H110 is a slower ball powder for magnum handgun and 2400 is an extruded powder also for magnum handgun. H110 is quite a bit slower and needs near max or max charges to work at it's best where as 2400 you can down load more and still have consistent ignition.

Regards to performance at the higher end, H110 will run higher velocities due to the powders characteristics of having a slower burn vs 2400. Upper end H110 loads will yield higher velocities vs the upper end 2400 considering the same pressures involved.

Sounds like h110 meters better then 2400 too?

H110 does meter very well. I don't load/shoot a lot of full magnum loads in 44 magnum but H110 seems to be well suited for those upper end loads.

H-110 works well in my Marlin 1894 carbine with 240 grain XTP's.

H110 is an awesome powder! I use it without question in .30 carbine, .357, .41 mag and .44 mag. Years ago, I helped a commercial reloader who was also a very good buddy and he bought a commercial powder called H110 Data, it is 10% faster than H110 and burns a little cleaner. So, long story short, better velocity with a case full of it. I am down to about 15 pounds of it and will hate to run out. It works better in the .41 mag than consumer H110.

Enforcer/AA4100 would be a good one to replace what you have. One of my favorite powders for upper end work.

[kenyerian]

I am almost out of 110. Been looking for the last 6 months. It is one of my favorites also.

Not much, if any. I think 2400 is technically a flake powder but the grains look to be almost as thick as they are wide. Practically I think 2400 meters as well as most ball powders.

I'm a big fan of 2400 because it is so versatile and can be downloaded to shoot cast in rifle cartridges as well as magnum handguns. 16 grains of 2400 is a good load in everything from 30-06 to 35 Whelen to 375 Winchester.

After buying and trying lots of flavors over the years I too have picked h110 to be my go to powder in .44, and anyplace I need a high end mag pistol load.

H110 rules

[osteodoc08]

296/H110 is definitely where it's at for top end magnum loads. LG is also an excellent performer in rifles. Continues to be controversial in wheelguns. I've had it cause erosion with light or caliber bullets while experimenting in as little as 12 rounds. In the heavier for caliber loadings, I've not really noticed much after several hundreds of rounds. No more than say, 296.

The he main benefit of 2400 is ability to download and use it as a general plinking rifle powder.

[runfiverun]

I have used H-110 in rifles with cast loads before but prefer AA-1680 to H-110 and 2400 to both in that application.
I just picked up an 8lb jug of H-110 yesterday because I do like it under jacketed bullets in some cases.

[plainsman456]

I use it in my 41 mag and the 357 mag.
Both rifle and pistol.
Does some nice work and easy to work with.

[ejcrist]

I absolutely love H110 in 32 H&R. I just started using it a few months ago when working up a load for the little 32 but it was hands-down the best of the bunch. IMR 4227 did better in my 45 Colt but only by a smidgen. I can't wait to try H110 in the 44 Spl and mag.

[Moonie]

I use H110/W296 in 45 Colt (NMBH), 357 and 300 BO. Great powder.

[GaCop]

I'm getting excellent results with H-110 in my Marlin 1894/44 mag with 240 grain jacketed and cast and 265 grain cast/jacketed.
