I was clearing out some more old partial boxes of projectiles by way of loading them of course (5 here, 30 there, etc) and came across some old 300gn WFN 44 magnum bullets I had from MBC.
I still had just shy of 100 bullets and I loaded them up over 15.4gn of Alliant 2400. My notes indicate about 1,000 FPS with this load and it's just shy of max. The 92 completed rounds all fit in one MTM box, I prefer 98 to 101 spare bullets for this reason!
As I was loading the large, high visibility cases with powder and easily slotting a bullet straight and true into the case mouths I realized I just really like loading 44. The case has the right size and ratio of length to width to be easy to eyeball case fill, seat bullets, they rarely tip, etc. What a great round to load, I think it's my favorite!
What rounds do you like loading the most?
