I've been doing some reading on this and other forums regarding lead target loads for 44magnum and have come to the conclusion ppl's results are all over the place. I clean my guns after every range trip, so leading is not a real concern for me..not that I welcome it, but I don't wish to load hot enough to encourage it.
I had read somewhere someone loading 10gr of Unique under 240gr SWC's. I tried this and found it to have more recoil than I want for target loads, not to mention accuracy was less than desireable. Just about perfect loading using Unique is 7.2gr, for me. Problem is, I'm down to about 1/2 lb of it. What I have the most of is HP38 and would like to find it's perfect loading, so I guess I'll be doing that next. Anyone else use W231/HP38 for 44mag/44spl lead loads?
