Need help with 44 Magnum Load data
Cant seem to find the data for a 44 mag load. Checked the Lee loading manual, and the web. Below are the components...
Power Pistol powder
180gr JHP (Winchester I believe)
CCI #300 Large Pistol or CCI #350 Large Pistol Magnum
Thanks

According to Alliant, you can use 15.5gr behind a 200 gr bullet. They don't list 180gr bullets.

Sierra manual from 1971, list several loads,10.4 up to 14.5 grains of Unique, 21.8 up to 27 grains of 2400,24.3 up to 30 grains of H-110/296.
Start low and work your way up. I also have an old note for 16 grains of Herco with a 180, don't recall how well it worked in a Contender at the time.

Am using 11.0 grains unique under Rem/Hdy 180 jhp's. 1250 fps from 4 incher and extremely accurate. If your pistol has oversize cylinder throats, your accuracy may be different for shorter jacketed bullets. The sight adjustment is also considerable different from heavier bullets.
Hornady's manual list loads for 180 grainers

Zjnovak: Use your CCI 300 primers with Power Pistol loads.
