I am looking for a good load for the Ruger .44 Carbine. It is one of the old models made in the 1970's.
One problem is that I am going to use it for deer hunting in Northern Minnesota. This is a problem because Hodgdon H110 and Winchester 296 (the same powder, I know) can cause pressure spikes in very cold weather. So I need a powder that will operate more consistently over a range of temperatures.
Another problem is that because the carbine is gas-operated, I need to use a powder that will reliably cycle the action.
Any suggestions?
