I find myself needing a break from my usual load of 20 grains of 2400 under my cast 240 grain bullets. i know thats not all that hot but its hot enough to have my hand sore today. i am shooting most of them out of trio of rugers, a super redhawk with the long barrel, 9 inches i believe and a super blackhawk with a 7 1/2 in barrel and another super blackhawk with a 5 1/2 inch barrel. this load shoots well all the time and i will keep loading these for my lever guns since they shoot so well in them.
after 2 weekends in a row shooting 200 rounds a day i find my old hands needing a break before next weekend and would like something a bit milder to try.
i am looking for a load that will shoot accurate enough for paper punching and for the occasional critter that needs dispatching. i want to use my cast 240 grain bullets in most if not all loads combos. i prefer 2400 powder but i have 296 and 231 and tight group and trail boss and a few others available.
i have PLENTY of brass and a fair supply of primers and i even have a few 44 specials brass available if that helps. and like i said i have an almost unlimited supply of my cast bullets.
and yes i know asking this makes me kind of a wussy.
