I have loaded 44 mag in the past but in a very limited number for a friend that has a Dan Wesson 44. I loaded middle of the road powder charge and we shot it together. It fired great and he was very satisfied with my work.
So, I have purchased a Smith and Wesson 629.
Today I purchased 500 Hornady XTP 240 gr bullets.
CCI 350 primers
Winchester and Starline brass (200 each)
Win 296 powder.
Lee factory crimp die.
I am going to be using Hornady 10 edition manual.
I think that I am all set to get started.
Any advice from experienced loaders on the 44 mag round?
Plinking and target work is my purpose.
