I’m using unique powder, 8.6gn with a 240gr cast bullet, at 25y I getting three touching ,maybe worth a try

[steve R]

awesome , some great help here thanks lads

Get one of these for removing the lead. They are really useful. It fits a standard cleaning rod.

For a .44 Mag gallery load, I use:

5.0grs of Lovex S015 (Solo 100)
Remington .44 Mag case
240gn Shellhouse .430" lead RNFP bullet
CCI large pistol primer

thanks mate ,some good info , i got some unique now and have loaded

2x5.5gr
2x6gr
2x6.5gr
2x7gr
2x8gr with 240 gm lead heads

gun is clean,so roll on monday eve, i saw some lead bullet heads in the shop that were PINK ,bright pink, forgot to ask ,but just looked on google in states its a hi tech coating ,range friendly to stop lead contact in the barrel

so hopefully heres a pic of my loads ,it looks like ive got a bit more crimp than the factory copper round, does the crimp look too much?

Your crimp looks fine, based on the slightly fuzzy photo -- without macro capability, it is difficult to get really close.

Good luck with the Unique loads, and let us know how you get on.
