HS-6 Lee .429 240gr lswc .44 Mag
« on: March 09, 2010, 09:45:59 PM »
I've got HS-6 on hand, and cast 240tl bullets. Not finding a lot out there on loading .44 magnum with HS-6. Any advice out there?

44mag 7" barrel

240gr JHP        starting load HS6 10gr at 1134fps 18,100 cup
                      MAX load HS6 12gr at 1211fps 26,600 cup

Perfect, my manuals weren't much help on this powder/bullet combo.
