I'm having a hard time finding a reduced load for .44mag using a 240gr JSP. I plan on using Bullseye. Alliant site calls for 8.9gr at ~1200fps, even if I reduce by 10% that's still 8.0gr. I've been shooting 6.0gr of bullseye with 220 & 240gr Plated bullets without any problem. The other variable in the equation is that these JSP's will be shot from a new gun (S&W 629 6") my older Smith has seen lots of use and was told the barrel had been lapped. Is there going to be more friction in the new gun? Thus making light jacketed loads unsafe? Alternativly I have a bunch of .44 special cases too, but I can't find any data for bullseye with a 240gr JSP only lead bullets.
Thanks,
