.44 Russian

[MI2600]

I have a Uberti Schofield #3 in .44 Russian. My searches for loadings for a 200gr RNFP Missouri lead bullet have led me to loads all over the place. In addition, the reports I found seldom, if ever, mention the gun being used.
Being a middle of the road reloader, I'd like to hear about loads using Titegroup, Bullseye, or Unique.

Lyman 50th has this:

Lyman 427666 200gr rnfp bullet from a 6 /12" bbl

All loads are "MAX" loads listed

Bullseye
3.8gr 743fps 10,100psi

Titegroup
3.8gr 786fps 11,000spi

Unique
4.8gr 767fps 10,400spi

Any time I look for 44 russian reloading data I like to look at the "cowboy action" area of the reloading manuals. A link to a hodgdon cowboy action manual from 2003

Hope this helps

My Lyman Handbook of Cast Bullets (1957) has 2 loads that may be useful. Both listed as max.

With 205gr plain base cast, #429478

Bullseye. 3.0gr, 750fps
Unique. 7.0gr, 990 fps

There is a footnote: Other Lyman bullets may be used, i.e. #'s 429352 - 429336 - 429421

Good luck.

I guess I'm in the ballpark. Now to experiment some.

Thanks everyone.
