I'm kind of new to this and I'm looking for some advice as to find load data and I can't find any that fits what I have.
I need a deer hunting load for three different firearms within 50 yds.:
S&W 629 6" (44 Mag)
Rugero Vaquero 4" (44 Mag) (Original vaquero not new)
Marlin 1894 lever action rifle 20" (44 Mag)
Due to shortages online and in stores here is what I have to work with:
- New Winchester 44 Mag brass
- Hornady 240 gr. XTP bullets (44 Mag)
- Winchester and CCI Large Pistol Primers in Magnum (That's all I could find)
- Accurate 4100 Powder (Closest I could find to WIN 296 and H110)
Based on what I could find on (https://www.accuratepowder.com/products/handgun/?view=8&product=4100) their load data for a handgun is MIN = 20.3 gr. - MAX = 22.5.
My questions are:
The load data from accuratepowder.com doesn't use magnum primers and it is only based on a handgun.
1. Should I expect to have issues with the magnum primers in this combination?
2. Should the lever action rifle operate properly with this combination.
Trying to be safe and accurate (within the constraints of what I have available.)
Thanks in advance for suggestions and advice.
