Thanks everybody. All my reloading data is 25+ years old. Based on the great recommendations here I put a crowbar in my wallet and arranged to buy a Speer #14 manual (used on EBay of course). I’m looking forward to learning what they have to say about short-barrel loads.
I will probably load to .44 Special +P levels rather than full honk .44 Mag. But I will probably also shoot a handful of 296-based rounds intended for my 8 3/8 version, just for the light show![]()
Well,according to that and based on my experience,I'd invest a few $$ in the form of a 1# of Unique(or any similar burning stuff)and be a happy camper...I mean shooter after that.The funpart with Unique is that you can get very efficient performance with any weight of bullet.
I wouldn't be surprised if you'll end up buying Unique by the 4#keg after trying it!
