What do you guys feel is a good target load for the .44? I have loaded for the .38/.357 and .41 Magnum for a long time but am fairly new to the .44.
I haven't shot any of them yet, but I loaded 50 rounds in new Remington brass with the Hunter Supply "hard cast" 240-grain SWC over 6.0 grains of Bullseye with a CCI 300 standard large pistol primer. Those bullets are not supposed to lead barrels up to 1,600 fps but according to the manuals I have and the data I could find online, the Bullseye load should be right around 900 fps.
What's the preferred powder for a nice practice round in the .44?
