Id like to use power pistol, speer 240gr jacketed magnum hollow points and cci no 350 magnum primers. Anybody got a recommendation?
Yes sir im locked into power pistol or bullseye and those bullets. I have everything needed for 45acp or 10mm and have a dillon dedicated to each. I do not normally load pistol rounds so i have no stockpile only emergency supplies for those.I'm no "expert", but unless you either have a bunch of that powder or are otherwise locked into having to use it for some other reason...well, I have had real good accuracy with 2400. I started at 20 grains and worked up a little.
I am gonna guess and say you have the PP and cannot get any other powder right now {like the rest of us}??? PP is pretty fast for the 44 mag and jacketed bullets. I have also had pretty decent results with 4227 and 296.
I don't know why, but I have owned three different 44 mag pistols over the years and they all favored 2400.
I cut a Taylor throat in the one I have now and it works great for cast bullets. I was worried it might not shoot the jacketed ones as good as it did prior, but it didn't change a thing accuracy wise, maybe even improved it a little.
Yea only 210. They used to offer data for it a search turned up, but for whatever reason stopped. Its just a tad too fast.Alliant doesn't list that powder for that bullet weight in that cartridge. I looked through their data for the .44 Mag on their website, and I didn't find any data for Power Pistol. No Bullseye, either.
