Ok folks... I was only able to locate and scan the 3 1953 American Rifleman articles. The files are large due to the scan being hi res.
The files are on a file hosting website... here's the updated link:
44_Special_Articles
I also have a complete collection of Handloader Magazine from Issue#1 to current, I'll scan and have the articles posted on the same file hosting website.
I remember reading somewhere that any loading data from the 44 Associates really needs to be taken with a grain of salt and a pound of caution.
Remember... the powder such as Hercules 2400 (now Alliant) used back then is a different make up from what's produced today. Pressure characteristics will be different, so you have to gradually work upwards while watching for excessive pressure signs.
Oh.. and here's what I shoot .44 Spl out of:
24-3 Lew Horton:
5 screw Pre 24:
