Howdy:

Does anyone have some favorite 44-40 loads for smokeless. I know I can read the manufacturers manual, but I am more interested in seeing what is used as opposed to what is available. :-)

My CAS load is changing, but for years I have shot 7-1/2 gr of Unique with a 200 gr RNFP 44-40 bullet, either Bear Creek Moly coated or plain cast lead. I varied that occasionally from 7 to 8 grains, but stayed generally at 7-1/2, for a Yellowboy and a Henry. I have changed to Hogdon's Titegroup, 6 grains, and it works fine as well, and is a bit cleaner.

Thanks for the input - I use quite a bit of UNIQUE. I appreciate your help very much. :-)
