why hot loads?

[HOOfan_1]

I load the lowest possible pressure I can for plinking. No reason to waste powder and put unneeded stress on my guns. I load the hottest loads I can, which are still accurate for hunting.

44 mag loads

I own several 44 mags. I do not load hot in the sense of over pressure, but I do load with different powders depending on my need/desire. I use Universal or Clays for light lead loads or when I am taking out a new shooter. I personally prefer H110 in the jacketed loads I shoot and I am plenty accurate with them. None are loaded above pressure, but you can definitely tell the H110 is a hotter (faster) load.
