For the most powerful loads I use 296/H110, next level down I like 2400 not so much drama. For just a little bit softer with 200 gr JHP bullets I like AA#7. When it comes to the cast 200gr. RNFP type...

I have a R1 and have put over 1000 rounds through her so far with no problems at all. It is very tight and I have 4 other 1911's, a Taurus, 2 Springfield's and a Colt new model series 70. My R1 is...
I use 6.3 grs. of 231 with a Magnus 215 gr. SWC in my Lipeys Ruger 44 Special for around 900 fps. as my control round to judge all others when checking out a new recipe or when I want to show off!...
I just got a Mil-Spec and like it very much. It has all the things I wanted. Almost got a series 70 Colt but was talked into the Mil-Spec my a gunsmith friend. Arched mainspring, short trigger,...
I just watched it and found it very interesting. A lot more involved than I thought. Thank you.
Thanks Lonestar, I tried 4.1 then 4.5 grs. of WST with a Montana Gold 230 F.M.J. and 4.5 grs. was the best load so far!:mrgreen:
I just started using Auto comp and like it. Hodgdon says:125gr LRNFP 5.7 gr. =1048 fps and 6.2 grs. =1139 fps. 148gr LHBWC 3.7 grs. =820 fps. and 4.1 grs.= 881 fps. 158 gr. LSWC 4.8 grs. =870 fps and...
I have used them and they work as good as any IMO. The only thing I've noticed is that they must be a little thicker. They were harder to seat for me. It was no big deal, it just took a little more...
Years ago I had a stainless Ruger Super Blackhawk in 44 Magnum. It was out of time to the point that it would shave lead when fired. I could feel it hitting my hand when I shot it. It also raised...
I also got one of the Ruger 44 Specials, 4 5/8. I started with Unique but have found that WST, 231,AA#5, AA#7 and 2400 work as well or better than Unique for me. I never would have tried these...

I took a movie of some land once and used the U.S.P.S. to send it and it never even made it out of town. I guess in those days, dope went in that size package, VHS. I have never used them again. I...
Thanks you guys, I wasn't sure if I could use WST. I had just started using 231 instead of Unique when I got one of the 44 Special Rugers from Lipsey, then the powder shortage. I seem to be able to...
Does anyone have data from an old source that list loads for 215gr. or 240gr. SWC in 44 Special for WST? I know I can use Jacketed information too, but I can't find anything listed nowadays for WST...
