I am working up loads for the first time since ~1978 or 79, and I used to use the data in the old Lyman 45th Edition that gives hefty loads of 4227, 2400 & Unique. I loaded some really hot numbers as a result of the gun rag articles and other info that suggested the 44-40 case was a tad larger in volume than the 44 Mag, and in a strong M92 could be loaded to near-44 Mag levels. *years pass...* Nowadays, I am not interesed in turning my little Half-magazine carbine into a 44 Mag or a pile of twisted metal, so I am not looking to magnum-ize it, but I am interested in strong and appropriately tailored loads. I have settled on 26 gr of 2400 (max 27.5 in Lyman 45) for the 200 JSP and 10 gr Unique (11.3 max) for the lead 205 RNFP 42798. What do you think? Reasonable? I can't tell you what I used to load in it - I'd be banned from the forum...
Thanks,
