Thanks to all. I do have a lot of manuals but none of them really get into reducing loads for the 44 Mag brass. I once had a bad expirience with under loads in the 30-06 and have been pretty leary since. I would like to use 44 Mag brass rather than 44 special. I have a 28 OZ Taurus Ultralite which I love to shoot but full power loads in it are not pleasant.
