hi new to the forum . Just bought new sidekick looking for advice for good loads right now goin to shoot hornady 44cal 240 grain with 100 grain 777pellets would like some input if anyone has tried this combination .And has anyone tried any of the new 777 primers

[eye shot]

   In my Sidekick I tried 240gr. Speers and 90grs. T7, did'nt group to well at a 100 yrds. I now use 300gr. SST's, 90grs. T7, and have got some 1in. groups at a 100 yrds. also use Harvester sabots for easy loading and Win. T7 209 primers. I was using regular Win. 209 primers and was geting crud ring. I was going to get the 25 acp conversion but tried the Win. T7 primers first- no crud ring no misfirers with loose powder.

I have a huntsman 50 cal. and the best load I have found is a 45 cal speer 260 gr hollow point handgun bullet, 451 dia., in a tc sabot for 50 cal. with 100 gr of loose pyrodex and a 209 primer.  I sight 2 in. high at 50 yards to be about on at 100.
