Hi folks. I just got a box of 300 grain, cast Meister bullets, but am having a hell of a time finding load recipes. My powder of choice is Unique, and according to Alliant's site, 7.2 grains is a suggested load. But upon cross referencing this info with several other web pages, it appears to be a fairly anemic load. 965fps out of a 5 inch barrel.
My question is that since Mesiter claims these bullets can be loaded relatively hot with no leading (due to their hardness), could I start out with something a little warmer. Like even, say, 7.5? 8?
I'm not talking about wildly hot loads, just something that would knock a deer down. (I usually use Magtech 240 JSP's pushed by 10.9gr of Unique).
Anyone with real world experience loading lead 300's for .44 magnum, using Unique?
Thanks for your help.
