Default Anyone use Longshot for 44mag

I'm running low on 2400 and Unique. Found some Longshot local, looked in my manuals there is lots of load data. But I'm looking for some first hand experience with this powder.

After reading the praise heaped on Longshot by a couple of popular gun
writers I bought a pound to try out in 357 and 44 mag loads. So far I
have only tried it in several different loadings of the 357 mag but was
impressed enough that I went back and grabbed a four pound jug while
it was there to be had. Never know what supplies will be like in the
future. I plan to try it in the 44 mag soon. Hodgdon used mag primers
in all their 357 loads and I found that with Longshot being a fairly
slow ball powder that velocity is increased substantially in the 357
with mag primers vrs std primers.
