shot my reloads last Sunday with MBC coated swc BH 18 . Used Unique 7.6, 8, 8.8, 10, 10.5 11 , 800X 12.5 and 13 , 4227 21.5, 22, 22.5 and 296 22.5, 23 and 23.5
None of the brass showed pressure signs and the 44 mag loads were gleaned from lyman's 49th but they used a 4 inch universal receiver as compared to 7.5 inch Super redhawk barrel.
What's a good upper velocity for this bullet? I couldn't chrono the 4227 and 296 as the shock waves I think is what was being read even though I have my chrono set as far as possible allowing for cord sag in my beta master chrony.
Any problems shooting the stronger 4227 and 296 loads ? since there were no pressure signs should be ok right? For 800 x I got 1305 ave for 12.5 gr and 1352 for 13 gr. Don't know if the velocities are higher for the other 2 but I got erroneous readings testing the 2 so may have had a stronger shock wave.( readings up to 1800 to 1700 fps)
I did have a small amount of leading but not too much at this time.
recoil was nice and stout for the heavier loads but not too bad for the heavy gun and it sure made the gong jump.
