RealGun,
I have to say that the Missouri Cast Co. has a Round nose Flat Point and a 240 LSWC that will not lead the barrel with this load of IMR 4227. I can shoot 100 rounds from my SBH with this loading, and I have very little cleanup.
For 240 XTP I prefer 20.5 grains of 2400. Super accurate, and shoots to the same point of aim as the IMR lead loading.
I personally do not, repeat DO NOT like Unique in the .44 Magnum. I have never had a good loading with it. I use Unique in 9mm, and that is it.
I have a new mega accurate load with a new powder for a velocity of 1000 to 1100 fps, but I cannot devulge that information quite yet. I don't have enough stocked up. LOL, but I will tell you it shoots every round in to the same hole from 15 to 25 yards using the Missouri Cast Co. RNFP @ 240 grains and a Federal LPM primer. Recoil is nothing from the big Super Black Hawk.
There are so many powders for loading down the .44 Magnum. I would shoot Magnum brass, but load down to Special velocities if that is what you are going for. It would sure help from creating a ring in the cylinders. W231 is a good powder to load down to special velocities, Even 2400 at 15 grains is a good 240 grain jacketed load.
I think you will find lead to be a good friend in the .44 Mangum versus other calibers. I haven't had any issues finding a good load with lead, and I haven't had to chore boy any of my cleaning sessions. I shoot 90% lead in my .44 Magnum. I do have some 240 XTP loaded with said 20.5 grains of 2400. I have some 270 Speer FP and 300 grain Sierras also loaded up, but I rarely shoot them.
I also like the 240 grain LSWC with 7.3 grains Trail Boss. If it is 7 to 7.3 or 7.5 I don't worry to much about it. They are light loads that shoot very accurately and good to have on hand for people who want to shoot the "BIG" gun without hurting them or shying them away from trying a second time.
