Only 2 rounds...

[moose]

I decide to take out one of the safe that hasn't seen daylight in a while only to find I have exactly 2 rounds.



44 mag was the first caliber I reloaded and it's probably the easiest, rimmed and straight walled.

8 hours vibrating in walnut makes them sparkle.



I'm making a light load. Some really old Speer 200gr HP's, 11.5gr Unique and a large mag primer. It should work out to be about 1250-ish fps.



It's probably the most productive thing I've managed to do all day.

Looks great. I bought some Trail Boss to load some light 44 Mag but haven't worked on it yet.

My second choice was Bullseye (out of what I can find here). I use that mainly for 45ACP lead practice loads though and it might be a bit quicker burning.

The load comes from a recent Sierra data book so I didn't just make it up.

I use W-231 for my lite loads in the .44 mag something like 8.5-9.0gr with a 240gr bullet makes my buddies 4.5" blackhawk shootable.
