23.5 grains of H 110 in a 20" bbl. Jacketed bullet should be fine but plated??? Am I asking for leading?
thank you.......you confirmed my thoughtsIs it a cannelured bullet? Even so, hard to get enough crimp on a plated bullet for H110/W296, without compromising the plating. Other issue is jacket separation in the barrel by pushing them so hard. Only real reason to push a .44 that hard in a rifle is for hunting and Berry's are not an expanding type bullet.
Expect terrible results w/ plated bullets at "High Velocity" loadings.
Three primary concerns:
- Don't know about leading but would expect multiple holes in a paper target after the bullet comes apart.
- Assuming no cannelure/crimp groove, you're left with a taper crimp >> only neck tension to hold >> would plan on bullet movement/assoc problems in tube of 20" lever.
- A firm roll crimp on H110 is necessary for proper ignition.
