Thread: Cast .44 loads

if they are subsonic,you should be able to try them in section...if its safe to use in garage its safe in section...Im assuming you live in country ..... biggest block of firewood for backstop/target backing....pleased you having sucess.

Neighbors have horses in paddock on our boundary,(only just over an acre)and new house been built on section next door,only 80m from my house so better safe than sorry going to farm over the road when I get the ok after calving.

Shooting from tube mag,will mild crimp be ok?

There's not much recoil. Never had a bullet jump crimp with that load. My crimp as mild and yours at mild...hard to govern.

Due to load some of Robert's 270gr pills. 17th's brew was 23gr 2205 for 240xtp. Do I just drop a grain for this heavier pill so 22gr 2205?

Not a good Idea max load for 2205/4227 is 22.5 grains better to start at 20.0 grains and work up you only need to load 3 of each to check pressure and accuracy
to start, That is what I do and then shoot 10 shot groups to fine tune the load, Standard loading practise with Cast bullet shooters, But then I make them so no great expense,
Hope they go well for you, watch your angles if shooting with dogs at full velocity they may pass through the 280 grain FP do at 900fps you could be getting 1500fps with the 270
would like to see some pictures if you recover any from animals, Cheers Robert.
