It's hard to beat plain old clays for light, soft shooting highly accurate loads in the 44mag. 6.0gr to 6.5gr of clays and most bullets in the 200gr to 260 gr range will provide excellent light loads for the 44mag.

Sighting in a 4x target dot scope on a old 629 @25yds with 245gr "keith" swc hp's. Was aiming at the right target, shot 3 shots and moved the scope over to the right and shot 3 more. Liked where the bullets were hitting so I shot 6-shots @ the left target testing that 6.0gr load of clays with that 245gr swchp bullet.



6.5gr of clays with the lyman 429303 sp bullet. A 6-shot group @ 25yds.



6.5gr of clays with the H&G #142 "Thompson" style 220gr swc. A 6-shot group @ 25yds.



6.0gr of clays with a cramer 200gr wc. Another 6-shot group @ 25yds.



Those are typical groups with light loads in the 44mag using clays powder. Pretty impressive.
