[QUOTE="D V US, post: 2824474, member: 34558"] I got my .44 magnum at the late age of 18 and started reloading soon after to be able to afford to feed it. And feed it I did with the heaviest loads I could find using 2400, 4227 and ultimately my favorite load was, well lets just say, about a full grain over maximum of H110 (never any signs of overpressure in my Super Blackhawk BUT, DON'T try it please.) The huge fireball, the recoil up over my head and the look of amazement on peoples faces when they would watch and the fact that it was damn accurate in my gun caused me to go through thousands of these loads. Now at the very old age of 47 and unable to hold anything in my right hand for any length of time including a pencil without my hand going numb starting at the base of my thumb and working through the other fingers and up to my elbow, I wish someone had warned me way back when. I'm sure I would have listened...maybe. On the positive side I don't notice the recoil of my Smith 19 with full power loads any more than I do my .22. [/QUOTE]
