I just started reloading .44 mag and am using what was available. Which was Alliant Power Pro 330 mp powder, CCI large magnum pistol primers and cast 240 grain bullets. The loading data on Alliants website said 25 grains of powder with a 240 grain bullet will have a velocity of 1570 fps. Will this velocity with cast bullets cause "leading" in my barrel? Should I consider using the cast bullets for 44 special loads instead?
Another question is Alliant's data specifies a standard, not a magnum primer; it is a spherical powder and I had read that magnum primers should be used with spherical powder, so I bought magnum primers. Should I take the rounds that I have reloaded apart and use standard primers?
Thanks for any help to a newbie
