Rifle powders in 44 magnum
I'd like to experiment with rifle powders in 44 magnum to lower velocities while maintaining a full case to keep my cast bullets happy. I did find pressure-tested loading data for IMR powders in one of their old reloading data handouts, but am interested in hearing from anyone else that may have done this. I have a 629-2 Mountain "Revolver" that's pretty unpleasant to shoot and want to tone it down a bit. I've tried the usual Bullseye, Red Dot, & Unique reduced loads, but I get some ferocious leading that's a nuisance to remove. I did cross-post this topic on Single-Actions(.)com, so don't be surprised if you see it twice.
