Hi all, I'm finally getting around to loading for my beloved 629 Mountain Gun. I picked up some H110, Unique, and Power Pistol towards this end.
I'll use the H110 for the wrist cracking loads. It's my understanding that this powder requires magnum primers and won't do for reduced loads.
I settled on the Unique for lowpower loads for introducing newbies to the .44. Does anyone have any minimum loading data available for 180 grain laser cast slugs? Alliant's website shows some cowboy load recipies with 6 grains of powder pushing 205 grain bullets @ 743 fps, but 180 grainers are what I've got for this purpose. Will a 180 grain slug be a safe substitute for that load or will I need to beef the charge up a bit?
The Power Pistol I picked up for some fun flashbang loads on recommendation from TFL (many moons ago), but I can find very little information for low to medium power loads, also with the 180 grain laser cast. Is this powder suitable for reduced loads or will I run into problems if I try to reduce it similar to H110? Any low to medium power recipies y'all care to share?
Another thought, are magnum primers suitable for these reduced loads?
Thanks in advance
