IMR 4227 and 44mag 220 jacketed load info
« on: October 07, 2008, 04:26:56 PM »
I only can find load info for 200 and 225  grain 44 mag with Imr 4227. I already have the bullits and want to load them with that powder any advise? It is the only powder I have  .

My advice:  Use the 225gr data and don't exceed the max charge.  Also a check of Hodgdon's site (http://data.hodgdon.com/main_menu.asp) to cross check your load info would be prudent.

http://stevespages.com/429_1_220.html  has the info you requested.  I ran into the same problem useing v-N110 and no data.  Is it the Sierra Tournament Master bullets?  I used the info listed there cautiously becuase two of my books had a max for the 225 quite a bit less than steve and they used large pistol as I did and steve likes the MAG pistol primers on his loads.  I worked up to the max just like you should and found that 21 gr of v-N110 out shot anything above or below and stuck with it.

I bought a bunch of those on sale and just finished loading the last 100 last week and will most likely go back to something cheaper and start over on all the load stuff again, they do seem to be very accurate though.
