Hi guys, I'm working on finding a load with the referenced components to find a load that will be a good hunting round for my 9.5" SRH and two of my carbines (99/44 & 96/44). I may also shoot it in the older 44 Carbine, but don't have high expectations with its 1/38" twist.
I shot a batch that I loaded with 18.4 grains of H110 and noticed zero signs of pressure issues. The recoil was surprisingly mild in the carbine and SRH. This is the maximum recommended load for carbines in my Hornady manual, but it shows 20.1 grains of H110 as the max load for handguns with the 300 grain XTP.
I would like to work up to 19.5 grains of H110 to see how it groups, but wanted to see if some of you more experienced reloaders have had any experience with this round and powder? I'm kind of surprised at how much of a difference there is between the handgun loading and the carbine loading. I realize the velocities would be considerably higher in the carbines, but didn't expect that much of a pressure differential.
Note: I trim all cases to 1.275",,, using WLPP primers,,,, and load to 1.605" total length
