That was an excellent Article by Glen Fryxell. I had no luck with the Lightest Boolit I can make for .44's which is a Magma 190 gr SWC it shot so high it was useless. I settled on 429421 which I can make as a solid or 3 different HPs from a MP mould. I use 6.0 gr of W231 which I got from Brian Pearce in an Article about loading .44 Specials. It shot to the sights so I was happy using that load for IDPA where everything is close up.
I also have a 429215 GC mould that I will try with this gun and in my SBH Bisley as well. In the Bisley my Mid Range Magnum Loads are 8.0 gr of W231 with the same boolit. it had it's barrel Lopped off to 5" some time back and it carries a lot better than the 7.5" bbl did.
The other pic is My IDPA Rig for the 696. The BH Bisley was never fired and is gone now.
