Hi,

I don't know if this question has been asked a thousand times, but search didn't help me to come to a conclusion. I would like to replace VV powders for my proven 44 special loads of 7 grs VV N340 with a 255 gr cast SWC / 9 gres VV N340 with a 200 grs cast SWC because of production stop of VV next year. I tried some other propellants, but did not reach the same level of accuracy with flake powders, so I want to try ball powders. There are some good hints to use AA #5, but AA loading manual shows only velocities of not more than 950 fps for the 200 grs and 860 for the 240 grs bullets. Would it be appropriate to use #7 for loads that reach about 950 fps with 240-250 grs bullets? Something like the Skeeter load with #7 instead of Unique? I don't like flake powders...

best regards from Germany
Ulrich
