Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
what did I do about reloading today..
.. well, I made an absolute and final decision ..
.. that being when we head west in a few weeks to send the summer in South Dakota, I'm going to take pack supplies to load 2 levels of 44 Mag and a light load 38 Special ....

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
depending on what I have the most of, W296 or H110 for the full power 44's
here again, depending on what I have the most of, Unique or Bullseye for the low power 44's and 38's

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
I was thinking at least two, those would be H 110 and Unique here.
Always have a pretty good supply of Unique here and a bit of 110, never tried Bullseye.

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
W296 and H110 are very close to being the same powder .... I prefer Winchester simply because it was the first powder I tried loading 44 Mag hunting ammo and it has served us well .... in recent times its been easier to get H110 and I have no qualms about it whatsoever .... I also prefer Unique and it is usually relatively easy to find .... for low power 38's I have found that Bullseye is a reasonable substitute
Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
I used W296 in the 44 mag pistol I had yrs ago, worked good for me.
I rarely ever buy a rifle, but when I do, it's a Henry.

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
Hey Greyhawk, did the same thing last week with the same MB Buffalo. I dropped 36.5 grn of IMR4198 on half the rounds and 43.5 of H322 on the other half. Hope to Chrono them this week. What powder did you load with?
I also loaded 50 rounds of .357 for the Henry using the Missouri Bullets Hi Tek 180 grn Striker's. I am looking forward to putting them through the Henry as well.
Please post how you like them.
