Welcome to the slippery slope!

I use Hodgdons Titegroup in my 25 and 50m .44 Mag target loads.

Word. Bit of a dirty load though, I find.

I bought some of the 200 grain GM cast bullets from Henry Krank (great service btw) but i'm struggling to find load data for them...

fwiw, I've got a bottle of Unique powder on the shelf, so I'd like to use that but I'm happy to buy something else if necessary...

Can anyone point me at a link?

thanks

I use those GM 200gn from Kranks as well, very nice with 5.4gn of TiteGroup, around 885fps out of my Henrys.

Back in "The Good Old Days" I shot some very good groups from a 6" S&W29 using a 200gn cast over 8gn of Unique :D
