Im currently prepping some 44 mag brass, ive decided to go with Win 231 powder, i have used it successfully before. Im using mixed brass, cci large pistol primers and SNS 240grain RN powder coated bullets., ive used this mix before with hunter HCFP bullets, 240g rnfp up to 7.6g of win 231, my records show no overpressure, and i have chronoed these at only around 900fps. Im just wondering if any one else has used this combo, because, the hodgdon website says i can go to 11g of win 231 with 240 hc swc. What i intend to do is start at 8.0g and go in half grain increments to 11g, checking of course for overpress on the way, i guess my question is, should i really start out at the min of 5.5g of win 231, when i have had no issues with 7.6g? BTW, im using a Taurus 6 inch barrel double action pistol and also using a chrongraph.
