I have used a lot of titegroup for cowboy in .44 mags. from a lee turret. Throws very consistent. I use 4.0g though with a 180g. RNFP. Gives about 650fps out of a 4.5" vaquero. Also have used quite a bit of TrailBoss, about the same weight. Got to keep that recoil down. One issue I did have though is the brass not expaning enough to seal in my 1894 Marlin lever, and some of the gas following the extractor groove back and blowing into my eyes. Seem to happen a lot with the marlins though, had it happen in other calibers with light loads. Also makes the brass hot.
