First shot was a bit low...and 3 clicks up and sent 6 more
The BS prices of loaded rounds and lack of avalibility of my usual components has forced me to become more creative, if I am to enjoy plinking at even near the frequency I became acustomed to.Test fired some .44special cast bullet loads.
The bullet is from a new mould I wanted to try. 240grn RN.
Using a non-traditional for cast bullet powder. Power Pistol.
Also used some reclaimed Large Rifle primers from some ammo I disassembled while back.
The lube on them is some new home made stuff I made a few months ago.
It’s really slicky stuff. I think it’s a bit too soft tho. Needs some more paraffin in it.
All rounds fired fine. Peppy load. Smoky.
I’m trying for a moderate loading for use in both handgun and carbine.
If you’ve priced .44Special ammo lately you know why.
No I haven’t.Have you tried Nitro 100 powder? I’m using that in my 45 Colt loads with lead bullets. I’m getting good accuracy.
My first thought was "Has he tried Trail Boss?".Sorta kinda been hunting for some Trail Boss.
