These are really arse kickers and fun to 'feel 44 mag power'. Book says 22-24g, but now am loading all the way down to 17g for comfy shooting, and they still let you know that you are shooting magnum rounds. Anybody else load their mag rounds down below book specs for easy shooting?

I think you will find few comrades in loading down 296 to that extent. I follow the advice to use Unique, which to me means that BE-86 is a candidate as well, with Alliant providing data for it, including lead. Using 44 Special data (in mag cases) toward the max end is an option too.
