If you shoot gallery rifle comps out to 50yards that's all you would ever need.
These loads will shoot out to 100/200 too - if you do your part.
No need for 44 special cases just use 44mag cases.
In 44mag use 5 to 6 grains of just about any fast burning shotgun/pistol powder.
Vectan AS/BA10,N310/N320,Maxam CSB5, GM3 or whatever is similar burning rate.
No need to use trailboss at that ridiculous cost!
At my club we were bulk buying Vectan AS. 5.5gn with 240gn bullet. And it would half fill the case.
Secondary explosion is not a consideration with fast powders in pistol cases.
In pistol days we were using the same powders in the same cases with the same bullets for the same reasons.
The barrel length is neither here nor there.
