Remember, it's a Special, not a Magnum.

Not to step on any toes, but this load is hotter than a lot of 240gr SWC loads for 44 Mag! And it IS hotter than any 44 spl load that I can find for that heavy a bullet. With a 265gr bullet, not to mention LWC (seats much deeper than a SWC), this is a recipe for disaster in a 44 spl case.
