I chose the IMR 4227because it was given to me and I saw it listed as load for 44 specials .my wrist has a lot of arthritis and shooting alot of my deer loads of 22.5 grs. of 296 is getting somewhat discomforting .I shoot 5 grs. of trail boss in my 629-5 mountain gun for a fun plinking round , but I am looking for load that is less than full magnum and I thought the load of 14 grs. of IMR4227 for a 44 special could be used in my 44 mag. cases as practice loads at ranges of 50 to 75 yards . These loads are for my 29-3 w/ 10 5/8 and 629-4 with 8 3/8' barrels , which I like shooting more than most of my other guns . I'll give unique a try what do you think of the special loads in mag cases?
