I'm finally getting the hang of reloading and am beginning to enjoy it.
Today I took a batch of .44 special to the range and ended up shooting the entire 100 rounds. I have a S&W 629 but find commercial magnum loads are too punishing for much range time, and the range I shoot at does not like shooters using full house loads.
I'd like to load up some "gentle" .44 magnum loads and am open to suggestions. Once I deplete my supply of .44 special brass I'd prefer to work with just .44 magnum to keep my brass needs simple.
By the way...is it REALLY true that shooting .44 special a lot in a .44 magnum gun will ruin the forcing cone, or was Mr. Gun Dude at the range just rying to sell me another gun!?
I have 180 grain and 240 grain bullets on hand and a few types of powder on hand; Clays, 2400, Unique and W231.
Thanks,
