44 Mag Load Info

by Art @, Littleton, Colorado, Wednesday, March 14, 2012, 19:11 (4439 days ago)

Wish to load some 180 Gr Laser Cast in a 44 Mag Case. I would like a very mild load fun load. My manuals all call for some heavy amounts of powder. I have Unique, HS-6, Power Pistol, 2400, Blue Dot. I know I can use 44 Special cases but would prefer to us the Mag case if possible. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

with the 180 GR 44 cast I use HP38 and it is a very accurate combination in 44 mag and special.
