I have an interest in loading up some 44 mag rounds that go beyond max book loads. I have a SBH and Marlin 1894. I've read both of these guns are very strong and capable of accpeting more powerful loads. In fact, I bought the SBH for its strength.
I'm interested in your experience with going beyond book values in a gun capable of handling it. I won't ask how much 110/296 you're using for 270 grain bullets. But I will ask how much extra velocity you're getting if you happen to chrono them or just how much stronger you believe my two 44's are - what they can handle.
I'm asking what is possible with these guns, if you want to share your recipe, even better.
My Hornady manual calls for 23.2 of H110 to make 1700 fps with 265 grain projectile. The info given to me directly from Speer is something less than that.
Disclaimer: I accept my own liability, will always work up my own loads starting at book min.
