I "plink" and everything else with the same loads, it works out better for me to shoot the load I would need to shoot, if I really had to shoot it! In my 44 mag's I use a 240gr HCLSWC over somewhere between 10 and 11 gr of Unique with a visit to a Lee Factory Crimp Die, with good results. I know some folks that load the same combo to about 6 grains, but there can be smoke, and at that level a 44SPL would seem to be a better fit to me. Go safely, Regards, Flapjack.
