Great info thanks. So I can use mag primers with 231? That would help as I have thousands.

Yes, very new. Having a “blast” loading 44 mag rounds but want some easier rounds for my wife to shoot.

Sounds like I can do it as long as I use a powder that is good with not taking up the entire case. Any thoughts on the matter?

I worked up to 18.5 grains of H110 and was very pleased with accuracy. Enjoyable to shoot in the red hawk. Glad I decided to reload, it was a lot of fun. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for all the great advice. I ended up loading a few at less than maximum and increased towards maximum. I’ll let you all know how it works out.

Oops. Sorry about that. Will be used for hunting deer and black bear.
