I'm new to the 44 Special, don't want to hot-rod it too much. Don't see a need for a 44 maggie as the Bisley 45 Colt will do all I need in that area.
So far, 2 loads out of my FT Bisley (4-5/8" barrel). Both with 240 grain swc hardcast bullets; you know, the inexpensive stuff with beveled bases.
Load 1:
6.2 grains WW231. Federal 150 primers. 6 shots averaged 785 fps.
Load 2:
10.2 grains Hercules Blue Dot. Fed 150 primers. 6 shots averaged 917 fps
