[QUOTE="Dumpstick, post: 4176345, member: 41653"] Loaded some 44 mag with CBI powder. [ATTACH type="full"]435060[/ATTACH] On the left is some leftover (from 2015 or so?) Missouri Bullet 240gr TCFP that I got tired of looking at. I had fewer than 100 and just wanted to get them gone. I loaded 70 rounds yesterday to about 1000 fps and went out behind the barn to shoot a few; took a Taurus M44 and a Ruger Redhawk with me. Before I knew it, all 70 rounds were gone. So I loaded 70 more today. This batch is just a tad spicier, running about 1050-1100 fps. CBI powder is a fairly fast powder, I think somewhere around HP-38 speed. It's not for full-power Mag loads. On the right is my standby bullet for casual 44 shooting; the Lee tumble-lube 240grSWC. Home cast of 1/2 pure & 1/2 wheel weights, tumbled in 45-45-10. I'm thinking to try them in a CVA single shot.
