Hi All,
I acquired 5 pounds of Accurate # 2 Powder and would like to load 357, 41 and 44 mag target loads with it. All using lead bullets with velocities between 900 and 1000fps. I can't seem to find any reloading data for this powder in magnum cartridges. I see it is next to win 231 in burn rate chart. I guess I could start there.
Has anyone here used this powder in magnum cartridges, and what starting load did you use? Thanks Key
