I went out to my home "falling plate" (actually swinging plate) set-up to shoot 100 rounds of .44 Special. Wow...at 77 I am no longer up for the recoil. After 10 or so rounds, I had enough of the recoil. The load was only 4.1 grains under a Keith-type 250 grain home-cast bullet (the last of the NRA formula lubed bullets, have switched to Powder Coated bullets).
The 4.1 grain Red Dot load is considered a mild load, but I just cannot take that much recoil anymore.
I will have to mull it over. I have 650 loaded rounds, six HKS speed loaders, a .44 Spl. Dillon 550b set-up.
I hate coming to the point where I have to deal with parting with this beauty.
