I found some 44mag reloads while cleaning my garage. Info on the box in hand print is: Speer 200g JHP Bullets, 11.5g W231, WLP, Star Brass. Load from Speer # 11 manual.
Speer # 14 manual lists this as max.
Anyone have the old # 11 manual and could you check this for me? I don't like to shoot max because there's no room for error.

Thank You In Advance

Sorry for the cell phone pic. Maybe you can make it out.

I know you were asking for # 11, but Speer #12 lists 10.5 start and 11.5 max with Speer brass and CCI mag pistol primers. Publish date of #12 is '94 so this is not a recent change.

Yeah, be careful with some of those loads in older manuals. What I used to load from data in Speer #11 with Blue Dot in 357 mag as starting loads are now HIGHER than MAX loads listed in Speer #14. I always wondered why my brass wore out so fast! :)
