First let me say I've been browsing this forum for the past couple of days. So far i've seen lots of genuinely friendly people,and books of great info. Which is a welcome change from other fotums i've browed. Y'all should be proud.
Anyway to my question. I just purchased a .44 58 Remington repro from Cabellas. It's made by Pietta. The(pietta) handbook recomends between 12-15 grains of fffg. That seems horribly underwelming to me. I see a lot of guys on here using between 30-40 grains. I havn't fired it yet. I was planning to take it out this weekend. I was planning to use Goex fff with a wad between the ball and the powder. Can i safely use that much powder ,or is the Pietta horribly inferier to the other? I sure would apreciate any tips. Thanks
