Most of what I shoot in the .44 Magnum are reduced loads. However, I use Unique or Blue Dot.
I put together some ammo with a 200 gr. double ended wadcutter and IMR 800X , and it was target pistol accurate in my Contender, with recoil like a .38 Special.
Like everyone else has stated, there are better powders for reduced loads than 296.
