I have several .44 Specials as well as several .44 Magnums. I shoot them all.

Because of having the Specials, I don't need to download my .44 Magnums. If I want plinking loads or field loads I carry a .44 Special loaded with Skeeter's load of 7.5 grs of Unique behind a 250 gr Keith.

However, if I WANTED to shoot a similar load in the .44 Magnums, I would suggest that Titegroup should be an excellent choice. It is NOT position sensitive and according to Hodgdon's data, you should get about 850-900 fps in a 4-6" revolver. Keep in mind that Hodgdon's velocity shown is from a pressure barrel (not a revolver) so their loads will show somewhat faster speeds than you will realize in the "real world".
