2400 does the heavy work in 44 Magnum for me. Herco gets the moderated loadings now, which make up about 75% of my 44 Magnum shooting these days.

I don't paint bullets. I like Black Rifle Coffee. Sacred cows are always fair game. California is to the United States what Syria is to Russia and North Korea is to China/South Korea/Japan--a Hermit Kingdom detached from the real world and led by delusional maniacs, an economic and social basket case sustained by "foreign" aid so as to not lose military bases.
I heard it is good but slower then 296 so Velocity to twist might not be met. Might need a compressed load.Originally Posted by chrometip78
Ditto except my lite loads use Trail Boss
It's all chicken, even the beak!
Good luck finding 2400.
W296 for me in M29
200g Lee over 700X is great for my warm loads in a 29 and an 1894.
I've read the same vs 296, it does take a bigger charge. 25gr under 250gr pills left me with real sooty cases and a soot covered revolver. 26gr mostly cleaned things up and 27gr kept everything clean without flattening primers and empties still fell right out. The loads might be lightly compressed, it's close either wary. I'm going to use up the rest of the pound at 26.5gr and probably be buried with most of them.
They shot well out of my stock 6"Anaconda and 4"Redhawk but good results for me are more about dumb luck than knowing what I'm doing.

I don't use 2400, but did a quick search this morning and found two places that still show it in stock. There are probably more if you do a deeper search. So it's out there. Just not a LOT of it.
KE4GWE - - - - - - Colt 1860, it just feels right.
Faster then 296 and 2400. If it will out shoot 296 I would buy it. Not in the cards so far.
I checked 2400 but really, all give very good accuracy with the right bullet. Some will do better with one bullet vs another.
EVERY GOOD SHOOTER NEEDS TO BE A HANDLOADER.

I use h110 for the heavy loads titegroup for the lighter ones.
+1 in regards to "using full-power loads"
I have lots of other opinions for non-full power loads

700X is good stuff.

The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naïve and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair.― H.L. Mencken
Interesting... I've got to look into this. I have a bunch of 700x to use up from a past deal.
Sometimes it takes a second box of boolits to clear my head.

Yeah, the OP asked for full-power loads, not low velocity loads. Somehow, 700-X and TrailBoss don't seem to answer his question.....
For 240/250-grain PB boolits I had great luck with IMR4227 in a 7.5" SBH.

While I use kegs of Unique, in other applications...my .44 gets Blue Dot more often than Not!!
My Mistake,Sorry! regarding WC 820 it's my favorite 21.5 gr. for either Lyman#215 swc GC, & 300gr. Saeco GC the latter will do 1300+ fps in the 7.5 Redhawk also VG in both 3-screw 7.5 Blackhawks, Fivefang
H110 for hot & Unique for mild to mid. Has worked for me forever, no reason to change. I have used 2400 & 4227 but don't see any benefit over the first 2.
I use 2400 but also Blue Dot.Some one stated good luck finding 2400.I was at Scheels in Cedar Falls ,Ia it had 2400 in stock ,I did not get any because i have all i need for now in stock. But they did not have Blue Dot in stock. but I have what i need of that also in stock.

Haven't used anything but Li'l Gun in heavy loads since '98, but all of that was for 300 grain paper patch. The others listed in the survey were feeble in comparison.
Tinkering with 2400 for 320 grain subs of late, it does well.

What projectile are you shooting in that?
