To load my recent batch of 44 Magnum using my desired load of 23.5 grains of Win 296, I double threw 11.75 grains, dont need to get into why.........ok, it is the most accurate way for me to measure it using a smaller powder bar, rather than opening it up to the full 23.5, i found great innaccuracies by doing that, up to almost .3 or .4 grains. I know id get a more accurate single throws at 23.5 with the bigger powder bar. But i dont have the bigger powder bar. Double throwing 11.75 hits 23.5 to the tenth of a grain every time.
This leads me to a "what if" question.
What would happen if you fired a 44 mag, 240Gr. XTP- JHP using only a charge of 11.75 grains of WIN 296... 10 grains or more below the published minimum. Do we think it would be just a "dirty dinker" or possibly a pressure spike and possible danger? Thoughts or ideas?
