    38 SA New starline, 130 gr winchester RN pills, winchester SPP and 9.9 gr of IMR Blue

    I had seen the load for Blue on the Hodgdon site and found some on the shelf at an LGS so I bought a pound to try. Should give ~1308 fps. Probably do up 100

    850-900…. 300 grain jacketed or 315 cast.

    Looks like CFE or Auto Comp will fit your needs. And I'm betting you can reduce Titegroup down to your target velocity as it seems to do the "reduced load" thing nicely.

    Also, here's some Sierra data to look over... 44mag.jpg

    Great info thank you. Suprised to see reduced H110 loads though as I always heard low end H110 could cause severe pressure spikes. Those others though look interesting have to look thru my powders. Thanks again, Craig

    I've never used H110 but have read the same things about it.
    For your needs there's no reason to use a slow powder anyway. I was going to edit my post to say that the 231/HP38 "starting load" is nearly there also. It has performed nicely for me with low end 240gr loads.

    Some good old 10mm. 180gr xtp over 10.2 gr of Blue dot. Should be around 1200 fps (according to hornady).

    Oh gosh. At least you're not moving!
    I'd rather take a first class whipping than move again.

    Well this evening I set up my turret press to load 5.56. Took awhile to get everything set. Know I'm able to get 50rds in around 20 minutes. I did a test run loaded 75gr FMJBT over 22.9gr of 8208xbr. Want to test that see if it shoots like the 75gr Hornady HPBT Match. It is my fodder rd. Best part Lee's auto drum consistently kicked out 22.9gr I tested 10 loads then ran 5rds, tested one ran 10rds, tested one ran another 10rds tested, then I loaded the rest up tested the final rd still holding 22.9gr. After I was done I tested 10 more and each one came out at 22.9gr. It definitely loves that powder and the baffle seems to be doing its job as well.
