I shoot a lot of things with relatively high volume and am seriously considering curtailing the collection in favor of shooting the same few guns all the time.

For the purposes of my revolvers, I'm thinking I'd like to reload for my 44's and shoot them rather than my 357's that are currently doing duty as 38s.

Normally when I'm shooting in volume, it is in a class of some sort - I might shoot 1000 rounds in 2-3 days. My goal is to get as close as I can to mastering the double action pull with great accuracy with those light loads.

So, all that said - can I load the 44 to be tolerable for high volume, light loads?

How slow can you SAFELY push a 200 or 240 grain bullet, and if you have a good formula, please share...

My goal would be to have the same or less recoil than a 1911 generates with standard 45 ball ammo.

Thanks!
I'm shooting 4.5 grains of unique as a cowoy load. That is as light as I think I can safely go.
