fellas would anyone have PDF links or be willing to scan pages from load manuals for 44 special that they have? I have hornady 2001 manual, Lyman 50th edition(also the online options like hodgon and alliant) but I was trying to find some of the other publishers and older editions as well. I have enough loads on hand but its more a project on the 44 special itself, getting an assemblage of historical printed data.

Might I suggest the loadbooks one book one caliber. I have one for most of the calibers I load including 44 special.

The Alliant powder (former Hercules) website has 6 published loads for cast bullets and 1 for swaged.

Well the book name is listed. Lymans cast bullet handbook. I'd assume this data being '+P' level probably has a caveat on the previous page for use in appropriate guns. maybe what the '*' symbol is denoting for each entry.

From page 167 of that manual:

"Loads marked with an asterisk (*) are maximum loads and should not be exceeded under any circumstances."
