I load the 44 Russian cartridge a bit lighter than the original. I use a 200 grain bullet, I believe the original used a 246 grain bullet. I can put 1.3CC of FFg under the bullet and get good compression. That works out to about 19.5 grains when using FFg Schuetzen. In the big 44DA that load is a pussycat. Not much more recoil than a 38 Special in a Model 10. I shoot the same load in my New Model Number Three.

Very accurate in both guns.
