Default RE: 44 mag range report

ORIGINAL: L8KER

Thanks for the relpies. not lookig for a light plinker load. I have used H-110 ALOT for XTP's. (Same as WW296) Shot some handloads from a buddy who only loads with 2400. Alot of extra powder for basically the same result as Unique. I know that 2400 is the go to powder for 44 but I researched Unique quite a bit before chosing it. I was just wondering if anyone had used a similar load. Thanks.
Don't discount the midrange loads. They pack quite a wollop. I know 11gr of Unique with a 240gr laser cast is kicking at 1150fps out of my 44. And 12-15gr of HS-6 with a 240gr is only like 100-150fps slower than a full tilt H110 load but quite a bit less recoil. You still getting 1300fps from a hunting revolver.

I still use Unique as I got enough to last me another 5 years, but its dirty, I mean dirty. So my favorite load for 44mag is the HS-6 loads.
