.44 Mag Pistol - what's your go to load?

[Alaska Bush Man]

Due to the 'shut down' I'm starting to load stuff I've been putting off for a long time. I've had a Ruger Redhawk 7.5" with Leupold 2X scope since they first came out, prior to the Super Redhawk. My go to load has always been 240g Speer JHP, 21.9g of 2400, Federal 215 primer, WW and RP brass. It's a relatively stout load but good accuracy.

I have 7lbs of 2400 and 2k Fed primers and 2k Win primers that I'd like to use up.

Is there a bullet style/weight that would do significantly better than my current go to?

Fed 215 primers is that typo for pistol primer ?

I really appreciate all the work Brian Pearce has done with Redhawks specifically.
He has some great 50,000psi 44 Mag and 45 Colt loads, strong guns but not everyone needs that kind of power and deer/elk won't know the difference.

three and a half years old thread. But a goody! Now if only we had a thread like it for the 41 Mag.
