Does anyone here use Vihtavuori N340 in .44 Magnum?

I'm about to start experimenting with Vihtavuori's published load data in .44 Magnum using N340 powder and 240 grain jacketed bullets, and I was just wondering if someone here has already gone down the same road.

My primary interest is in developing an accurate, clean-shooting round for my revolvers and it would be great to consolidate to this one powder which already performs so well in my 9mm and .357 magnum guns.

If you feel like sharing your experience with N340 and 44 Mag, please add to the discussion.

I have never tried it, but I would think it would work OK for midrange .44 Mag loads, although it will be sensitive to powder position in that big case. N-110 is much better suited for full power loads. N340 and 125 Gr bullets shot great in .357 Mag, but the recoil is very sharp compared to 2400.

I have used it for loading .44 specials. 210gr (Sierra 8620) 8.5gr N340. I believe that is a max load. They shoot very well.
