44 SPL and Ramshot Enforcer

[man7sell]

Old account lost, I was man7sell. Oh well
I am getting out of SASS shooting and will only be shooting range now. I mistakenly sold all my reloading gear. So I'm getting into reloading again. My rounds are 38 spl, 357, 44 spl, 44 Mag, 45 LC
Today I was going to load some 44 spl as I have the bullets 240gn, shells Starline, and CCI LPPs. The only powder I could get today was some Ramshot Enforcer and there it is. No load data for the 44 SPL

I read an earlier thread from 2015. Anyone have any newer data? looking to load for indoor range stuff.

I use 231 or Unique, a factory duplicated load is made with Unique for 44 special.

Enforcer is not a good 44SPL powder.
Use it in your .357 or .44 Mag
Get a different powder for 44SPL

OK thanks all. I have some Silhouette coming tomorrow. I will just sit on my hands, or load primers

I recently picked up a copy of Richard Lee's "Modern Reloading - Second Edition" it has over 38,000 loads for many old and all of the newer powders. As to "classic" powders, 2400, 4227, Unique and even Bullseye work well in .44 Spl.

My 'kit' came with a copy, better read it, or at least take off the wrapper

You are right. After holding my wrapped copy to my forehead for some time without effect, I chose to unwrap it and just read it the old fashioned way.

For me a slow powder for 44 spl is VV N340, WSF Accurate #7, Blue Dot or maybe 2400 with heavier bullets. My 44 spl has a 3" barrel so I lean towards medium burn pistol powders for stiffer loads.
