Hey guys. Just getting back into reloading after quite a few years. I have my Dillon SDB set up for some 44mag currently. Going thru my old supplies and I have some cast lead (3D) 44's that are 240 grains. I have probably 2000 of these so I'd like to load em' up. My problem is my new reloading manual (Lee, second edition) is not giving me what I need. Here's Lee's load:
240 gr lead bullet - 25gr of Win296 max 1560fps (no idea what firearm)
There is no minimum load...??? I'd like to make this a plinker round and I know that 296 is more for the heavier loads but only a max and no min..? What gives?
I have an old sierra reloading manual but no lead loads, only for Sierra bullets.
They have a 240gr JHC load that starts at 21.2grs of 296 and max's at 24.7. I know there's a difference between a lead bullet and jacketed but I'm a bit confused.
Am I better off using Unique or Bullseye for a lighter plinking load???
