44 magnum H110 vs 2400 accuracy?

[David Newton]

Indication of that is the clean burn of 2400, and dirty burn with H110. I load H110 under heavy for caliber 250grn .41 bullets and it burns clean as a whistle in a 5.5 or 6" barrel, but 2400 burnt terrible in my 5.5" .45 Colt with the same basic bullet weight. I always chalk something like that up to a 'non optimum' powder or powder charge vs bullet weight, and go looking elsewhere for a better powder. Your poor accuracy with H110 might also be related to the poor burn... or it just may not like it.

Ditto for me. I like both powders [.41, .44, & .45 LC in Blackawks] . I find the 2400 dirtier because this is a flake powder vs. the H-110 ball powder. Both are accurate. I started as a youngster with 2400 in the .41 & .44; later I started using H-110 with my .32-20 Martini and when I picked up the .45 and have used H-110 with it as well - super accurate and cleaner than the 2400 flake powder. The 2400 gives me super accuracy out of the .41 & .44 so I have no complaints with either powder. My experience with accuracy is in the bullet - my .41 with the Speer 220 gr, 1/2 jacket, semi-wadcutter gives me 1" groups at 25 yrd [bench rest] while the Speer 200 sucks. Love those old-style Blackhawks!

I’ve always considered #2400 an accuracy powder, but excellent velocities, but H110/296 as VELOCITY powder, but with decent accuracy.

I mostly shoot #2400. Buy it in 8ld kegs.
