Data for RedDot in a 44 mag does vary I agree and the loads I shot were from my loading log book entries in the 90's. The source escapes me but was probably from an older Alliant booklet. These are my plinking/target loads.

I used to find myself gravitating to similar loads ... 200 at around 700 to 850 FPS ... pleasant little bunny buster. Then I started comparing it to other calibers ... My god if that isn't a ballistic dead ringer for a 45 auto.
ifn's ya think about it, and wander to similar conclusions as I have ...well ... your welcome to use it as the same excuse I used to smoke it past the missus
