Well folks,

Vihtavouri N110 powder
Magtech Large Pistol Primer

Hi P44
7x64 is a great chambering. I have mine on a modern Mausingfield action. I tend to reload Geco cases for it and so far is a lot of fun. You have a lovely collection there, sir.

Just had a look, many thanks.
I will try some of the Geco soft point I have and see if it gets enough speed.
My rifle ame rather less beat up than Lucky Gunner's test gun though they make a good point about sling attachment.

Thanks Roger.
Interesting Hodgdon doesn't quote Lil'gun data for the 44 mag rifle. Wonder if there is a reason they haven't done it. (Or maybe it is just that they haven't got round to it).
Clearly you find it works!
