jce, I have been shooting 42 gr. of 4198 behind a Saeco #432 265 gr bullet in a re-chambered 14'" Contender Barrel. The barrel was 44 Mag re-chambered to 444. The loading book says this load is shooting over 1800 fps , with good loading density. Btw, it`s the most accurate cast load I have found for this gun.---dale
Thanks Dale . I am going to us this for my mulies and black bear this year and just started playing with the 444 I put a burris 3x on it and just got to work up a load. craig in montana.
