In the past four years I've seldom seen more than 10% of Alliant's power portfolio in stock at one time. So very little change overall.
As far as substitutions, I use loading manuals for that.
I've owned and shot 41 Magnum, 44 Special, 44 Magnum, 45 Colt, and 454 Casull revolvers. I'd say the 44 Mag is the least likely of the bunch to die a natural death. And as long as folks want to hunt or protect themselves from large game with a handgun, it will continue to survive.
I typically have brands I prefer for each piece of equipment or components. That said, I own and use equipment and components from many manufacturers.
Those preferences have changed over time for various reasons, mostly related to availability, performance, durability, and CS.
Reduced loads for the 300 Win Mag can be assembled with H4895 using Hodgdon's reduced loading guidelines for H4895.
If you can find an old IMR loading guide, it had some lower velocity loads using their faster rifle powders. I used IMR4198 in the 338 Win Mag with such data and had good results.
I looked again, and you are correct. Though most Mag pistols operate below 40kPSI, there are a few exceptions, like the 480 Ruger using LPPs loaded to 48kPSI. Cartridges over 50kPSI like the 454 Casull and 460 S&W are typically designed to be used with rifle primers. Published Ruger only 45...
I load on both SS and progressive. Haven't used a turret. I don't enjoy the SS process enough to load 300 per month on one. I typically run batches of 100 or less on the SS and 300+ on a progressive.
Really depends on how you want to spend your time.
In addition to the dimensional differences, there are differences in design operating pressures. The LPPs are used in cartridges up to about 35kPSI. The 30-30 and 444 operate about 20% above that, and the 308 about 75% above that.
Good reasons to avoid the proposed practice.
Since you already have Accurate #2, I'd start with it. I also like W231 and Red Dot in the 45 Colt. Biggest disadvantage with the 45 Colt is case fill. Accidental multiple charges are a definite danger that needs to be checked carefully during the loading process. The large case will hold a...
Many times, when Lee Factory Crimp Dies are discussed, there is a potential for confusion since Lee makes two styles of Factory Crimp Die.
The original style is the Factory Crimp Die (FCD) that places a segmented factory style crimp at the case mouth. This die is available for most rifle...
On occasions where my revolver loads didn't fit into the cylinder, it was due to the bullet seated crooked, excessive crimping creating a case bulge, or failure to fully size the case. The standard Lee Factory Crimp Die (FCD) addresses none of those issues. The Lee Carbide Factory Crimp Die...
Same press. The Supreme/IV is the current iteration of the Rock Chucker press. My Rock Chucker with RC IV cast into the frame came in a box marked Rock Chucker Supreme.
I have a Pro Shot bore guide much like the Tipton model. The fittings are too large for the smaller diameter 22 actions. It might be possible to modify the parts for some bolt action 22 rifles.
I consider the Sierras more fragile than the Interlock. So I generally prefer the Interlock for more predictable performance under a variety of conditions. However I had a rifle that didn't shoot Interlocks well, but shot OK with Sierras.
My son got his deer with the Sierra at about 100...
Note the following statement regarding the data:
Here are some examples, the first round the barrel is pointed down when cocking the gun vs the other five shots in which the barrel is pointed up.
