red dot in .44 mag?

[TREERAT]

can I use red dot for .44 mag rifle, almost out of unique but have a bunch of red dot!

[TCLouis]

BUT in a round about way to answer your question I see several sources that list 5.0 - 7.5 grains of Bullseye with 429421 or boolits of comparable weight

The short answer- YES

Try 5.0 to 8.5 grains. with any .44 boolit

A little longer answer. Yes, I have for many years with the RCBS version of the #429421.Robert

6.0 to 6.5 grns. with a 429421 is a good woods tromping .44 mag load. Easy on gun shooter and brass.

Yep. I use 6grs of Red Dot with a 240gr SWC.

[Three44s]

yes ...... in my revolvers .......... mild at the "6" range of charges ...... but dirty.

And that lead me to something else.

Inside Flash Hole Deburring

Then Red Dot was decidedly cleaner. ............ NOW ........... ALL of my metalics get that treatment ..............

Enjoy

I kinda like 7.2- 7.5 of Red Dot on top of 250 gr H&G 503. Right around 1000 fps.
In my limited experience , I find the newer Red Dot to be cleaner than Unique.
I also load the 503S ,290 gr atop 5.5 of Red Dot for my 329PD.
