Anyone loading Lyman #429383 246RN in .44 Special?

[Sara Noh]

Are any of you .44 Special shooters loading Lyman #429383 246RN? This is the bullet that matches the old factory loaded .44 Specials. I am looking for accurate loads utilizing this bullet. Anyone care to share their load recipe for this bullet?

A fairly recent Handloader magazine article had 5.5 grains of WW 231 as a good accuracy and factory duplication load with this bullet. I think the velocity was about 750 fps.

The Lyman 44th Edition(copyright 1967) list that bullet with Bullseye.
4.1 for a Factory Dupliation load 697 f.p.s
4.0 for an accuracy load 689 f.p.s.
5.0 for a max load 792 f.p.s.

This is out of a Colt SAA 5.5 inch barrel.
