2400 and .44 Magnum.

Wow, nice cat fight. I too like 2400 in .44 mag.. I load it behind a 240 grn Nosler JHP and have great success with accuracy. I like 296 too. 296, was just a tad, shall I say powerful for plinking.. the 2400 is a nice bridge between medium to fast powders like Unique and the 296..

What a coincidence, i ran out of my powder of choice yesterday and went ahead and grabbed the 2400. Loaded up 12 rounds of 240 gr. penn bullets (Tcbb ) with 20 gr.s of 2400...i was impressed! They grouped very well at 25 yards. I had not considered that powder for my lead rounds, but will now.

Ruger's 5 degree forcing cone is optimum for jacketed bullets, which is why your results were so much better. If you have it recut to 10-11 degrees, you'll see cast bullets shine, but the price is a velocity loss.
