    His photos were something to behold - I miss him too. Hope he is OK

    GREAT thread guys! Has anyone done any 38/44 type loads with Titegroup or Winchester WST? that is currently the only pistol powder I have and it's hard to find anything else right now.

    Don't know about WST but titegroup is not a powder for heavy loads. Pressure spikes quickly when you go above normal loads.

    Just checked a reprint of a 1940 Colt add .They stated that their D famed guns would handle 38-44 loads. I found the same info inthe 1955 Gun Digest. I wouldn't be afraid of a limited amount of +P but not 38-44

    S&W also said the 2" M&P was OK with that ammo.
