Default Governor Hand Loads

FYI ... This post contains load data notfound in reloading manuals. Just because it has worked in my firearm does not mean it will work in yours.

I just bought a Governor, but already have a Judge. The Judge is moving on, but the load development I started with it will continue with the Governor. I am using 444 Marlin cases, Precision 410 shot wads, 7.5 to 8.0 gr Unique & 3ea. 0.357” dia mini bullets I make by putting 0000 buckshot (0.380” dia) through a 357 sizing die.
Why you ask? Because I own pistol/rifle reloading equipment. So far loadings chrono at 700 to 800 fps. With a 4” spread of bullets at 7 yrd. I have not had sufficient range time to re-confirm and refine the results. Now with the stronger Governor I may be able to increase the Unique charge into the 8.5 to 9.0 gr range.

It has been over a year since I recorded the initial testing. I will post up more info as I get it from trips to the range.

Until then I am interested in any loads others have come up with.
