44 Rem Mag

Cast lee 310 gr rfp (wheel weight lead)
powder
alliant 2400 14 gr
primer
Rem 2 1/2
case
all
 
This one has been very accurate in my 629 and with my bullet lube concoction, seems to remove minor barrel leading much to my suprize and puzzelment.
It has some room to go before it reaches its maximum and I concider it to be a moderate and pleasent load suitable for most purposes, as its velosity makes it usefull on rabbits, and its weight makes it serviceable on deer sized game (in theory, in the event I ever need to use it in this capacity)

LOAD DATA FOR LEE BULLET MOLD 105 GRAIN SWC .38 CAL./9MM?
   Does anyone have any good load data for the Lee Mold 358-105-SWC, (#90316 or 90315), for .38 Spl./.357 Magnum? I have both of the Lee Reloading books, but for some strange reason, they don't publish any load data for most of the molds they make! Their molds don't always follow the "standard" bullet weight guidelines, as to the grain weight, and load data is next to impossible to find for some of their bullet weights.
   The molds listed above are VERY good in my P-38 Walther 9 MM, and in the other 9MM pistols I own, when sized to .356 and lubed with liquid Alox, anyone who would like my load tables on them, feel free to contact me at [email protected]

SIGHTS: $15 NcStar red/green dot sight

RESULTS: 5 SHOT GROUP @50 YARDS .95"


This particular load probably has some room for improvement if one wishes to tweek it, but that is not its intent. Its an economical load with moderate pressure intended to keep in touch with my inner young punk, while having the ability to get my sorry butt out of a jam should I ever need to call upon my fun ammo to dispatch something with larger teeth than mine. This is a bullet I designed, engineered, and produced for this purpose and is made available through EBay should this be of interest to anyone here
