I'm looking for a load range for a 44 button nose wadcutter (old Lee mold).I have searched all the manuals that I have (quite a few) and can't find anything for 44 wadcutter. Since they load deeper than other 44 boolits in this weight range I am trying to be cautious.
Cast of 50/50 ww/pure, it weighs 212 grains and has a total length of 0.575 inches. Base to top of crimp groove measures 0.495 inches and I want to use the crimp groove. I have more Unique than anything but also have 231, 700X, Universal and several other pistol powders. I am looking for loads from target velocity to defensive velocity, but nothing too wild.
I would appreciate any suggestions from those with experience with 44 wadcutter loads.
