Ok, I have a mold from NEI when Walt was making the Sledge Hammer molds for J D Jones of SSK. I have used it in my magnum revolvers just fine for years, but, I went to run some thru my Browning 92 44 Mag and they were to long. So I cast up a small batch from COWW they drop at 327 grains and .432 dia., at about 12 BH. So I loaded some up in 44 SPL cases and the length right under 1.6. I'm at a loss as to a starting load, and then hotting it up. The smaller volume of the special case with such a lager bullet intruding into the powder room kind of has me going. I normally use 2400, but have H110, 296, unique, blue red and green dot, and others. The ones I loaded I used Trail Boss mainly as it would be safe and I could make sure the rifle would cycle properly. I have not found any listings for heavy bullets in manuals for the SPL, 250 is about as heavy as I've found.
So I'm wondering if any of you have had experience with heavy 44 SPL loads. I though I would take the starting loads for the SPL and reduce about 10% more with unique and start from there.
