I'm going to be loading .44 magnum cases for indoor 25m and need to keep it light to comply with range limits.
I've been suggested bullseye, red dot and unique. I have a couple hundred 240gn heads but have been looking at 200gn molds as well. Anyone reload for .44?

I've been using Titegroup 5.0 gr in magnum cases with a 240 gr truncated cone bullet , velocity is around 965 fps if I remember my last chrono readings.Originally Posted by thisisdonald

Thanks RM. I've just picked up a copy of the Richard Lee book which is chock full of data and info..
That titegroup load is just a little too hot for my club

Yes.
My indoor load is 4.2gr of GM3 driving a 240 grain lead bullet. Accurate and keeps within our range limits.
As to the Titegroup load, try reducing to 4 grains and see how it performs.
People who have been there focus on the fundamentals. People who sit at keyboards all day focus on the trivial and inane.

My "go-to" load for many years was 4.9gr Viht N340 pushing a GM 240gr LTC/LRN/LSWC bullet, std. C.O.L. Speed of 637fps, for 216 ft-lb. Group size @25yd was measured at 32mm (edge-to-edge, 10 shots).
Recently I've been using up some Viht N350. I'm using 5.6gr with a 240gr GM LSWC. With a reduced C.O.L. of 1.5" and a medium roll crimp, I get 716fps, yielding 273ft-lb. Group sizes are a little better, esp. at 50m.
