I'm looking through my Lyman reloading book for a .44 Magnum load for some 200gr LRN bullets. Maximum charge velocities are listed around 1,050fps. That's really slow. I have several loads for 300gr bullets that are near 1,400. I start looking through he Loadbook for .44 and I'm finding the same thing for all lead bullets. The velocities are all around the sound barrier.
The closest thing that I can find is a load from Speer (they always have the hottest loads) for a 215gr LSWC that's pushing 1,500fps. THAT's more like it! With 24gr of H110. I'm planning to use this as my starting load for the 200gr bullet unless someone has a reason not to.
Does anyone else have any good loads for a little lead bullet? I've got Universal, H110, and 2400 to work with.
FYI, these bullets are hard with a Brinell of 21 which should be fine at high velocity.
