Hey guys, loading some 44 mag cases with Hornady 265gr FTX. looking at starting load of 17gr IMR4227. by the looks of the powder level and the size of the bullet, it may not have much case space left, basically zero. that loading safe ? or maybe go down to about 15gr ? it's running through a 7...

My bullets are the green hi-tech coated ones from Bayou bullets. as far as the web site says, they are hardcast too, so i shouldn't have any kind of leading. also a multitude of users have mentioned they don't hardly get any smoke or dirt at all.

ATLDave, that may be a good guess. I've heard that happening on certain lead bullets that are NOT hardcast. Seems to me the big ol'Rugers should suck up the loading fairly easy.

The main difference with mine is no gas check. but that as far as i know just removes leading as the bullet travels down the barrel ? shouldn't effect pressure too much ?

I think there are about 50/50 as far as yes it's ok, verses nope too high that i've chatted too. thinking breaking down and using unique and a different bullet. I hear IMR-4227 is a good general purpose 44 mag powder too. original purpose was SD round / hunting load. the 300gr or 240gr XTP...

I have some old reloading data from 2000 related to using Alliant Bullseye in 44 Magnum, 240gr lead. The specs are a max of 9.8gr generating 34,400 psi. New reloading data doesn't show that at all for 44 magnum or sometimes shows a max of 6gr. I happen to have 100 8.5gr loaded up. (Long...

Thought I'd post an update as I've not been able to log in until today. I ended up buying the little H&R, after further examination after learning a few things, the hammer was fine, single and double. It even has a usable hammer block for carrying with all chambers full. I carry it from...

thanks for all the replies. i think i may end up passing on it. if it was a pure carry gun for a backup it would kinda be ok, but if the DA only trigger pull is very heavy, then accuracy goes out the window.

Hey Guys, a local gun store has a decent condition H&R 922, good lockup but single action not functioning. I'm thinking a sear spring or rod. Is it still a good purchase for $129 ? I can either get the parts or maybe re-weld the rod if that's busted. thanks for any advise.

apart from the spring being a bit stiffer, they work fine and my mag loader does work on them. i have four of them.
