I've got about 7lbs of Hercules 2400 that I would like to use up this Summer in some type of rifle load if possible. I know it works okay in magnum pistol rounds but was hoping to find a good rifle load if possible. I have a Ruger Red Hawk in 44 Magnum but it would take me 10 years to shoot this much powder in this gun. I alos have a Ruger 44 Magnum carbine that I'm pretty sure will work with this powder but again this isn't one of my favorite range guns. I recently read some posts on other sites where folks claim they use this powder in other rifle calibers (45-70 and .223). Has anyone ever tried this powder for loading .243 or .308? Do you think it would work in a Winchester 243 WSSM? Any suggestions for use (besides fertilizer)? Thanks!
