different length bullet, less powder?
« on: November 19, 2008, 01:44:49 PM »
I've been shooting 280 gr,.44 cal.,  WFNGC  ,cci 350 primer, 21.9 gr H110.  Now I i'm going to 280 gr. LFNGC   ,same primer,same powder. The LFN will seat a little deeper, so do I need to reduce the amount of powder?

Any time you change component's its best to back off the load then work back up , in this case it may not make a big difference , however H110 / win296 are some of the most fickle & unforgiving powders to work with so backing off would be the prudent thing here .

I agree with stimpy.  Back off a grain or even two and work up in .2 or .5 increments.
