Listed below are my components, I'd like some input as I have several different manuals, each with different data. I'm hoping someone with more .44 Mag experience can help me out as this is my first time reloading .44 Mag. (I have reloaded lots of 9mm, 45ACP, .223, 12GA etc....)
Bullet: 240gr Hornady XTP JHP
Primer: Remington Large Pistol
Powder: Unique
Brass: Once fired
Pistol: S&W Model 29 Classic 6.5" barrel
I have load data for unique that shows anywhere from 8 -12 grains. I want a stout loading, but of course I want it to be safe. (One manual says 10gr max, the other says 12 gr max.)
Is 11 grains of unique safe to shoot with the above components?
*Note that I want a stout but safe load.
