Accurate doesn't list #2 load data for the .44mag with a 200gr. bullet but they list 5.1gr. to 5.6gr. in the .44spec case. Velocities are 875-950. I'm shooting for 750-800 or so f.p.s but I'm worried about whether starting .44spec loads are safe to use. Hogdon also lists a starting load for Universal of 5.5gr for 802 f.p.s in the special and was considering that load also.
I know there are commercial cowboy loads available in .44mag at around 750fps, there's got to be a good powder to get those velocities.
