Hornady's .44 jacketed are .430" which may help, I have not tried these loads.
I've shot a good many loads of 12 grs. of #9 behind a 250 gr cast plain base bullet. I liked the way they shot and they didn't lead up or cause sticky extraction. All went through my N-frame spl's. and Ruger flattop .44 spl's.. Can't remember where i got this recipe........use at your own risk.
