Getting set up to do my first reloads, and ended up getting some slightly mismatched supplies. I see a few people online saying it works, but since I can't find any data for it in the manuals I am reluctant to try it.
Here's what I've got:
44 mag / 44 special dies and brass
CCI 350 Large Magnum Pistol primers
Berry's 240 gr .44 cal (.429) plated FP (whoops)
Alliant 2400
First off, Alliant recommends CCI 300, not 350. Second, Berry's recommends sub 1250 fps for their bullets (~1175 preferred).
Is there some combination I can use to get some light-to-medium .44 mag or .44 special loads? Note this is my first time loading, so I'm not looking for power so much as safety right now.
If I just done screwed up , can anyone recommend what powder and/or primers to get to use with the Berry's? I'd rather not have to rebuy everything. Live and learn.
I appreciate your knowledge and guidance!
