44 Special Load
This is what I shoot, 8.5 grains of Power Pistol and a 245 Grain Frontier Bullet.
I like the Frontier because it is a hardcast bullet with lead plating , not soft swaged like berry's or Raniers .
It also has a cannelure, a couple of local shops carry them they are made in South Africa and Black Hills Shooter supply distributes them.
My load is made for my Ruger Flattop and should not be shot in a Smith 696 or a Charter Arms.
It is a bit hotter then the books recommend but shows no signs at all of pressure in MY gun.
I really like Power Pistol, it is inexpensive and I use it a lot where I used to use Unique, it is slightly slower and seems to be cleaner to me.

Cool beans. I had never heard of the Frontier and will look into them and Power Pistol.
