Another cheapskate with a Quick load request

[SPEEDY]

Hey I got a quick couple of QL requests.

1st thanks to a very helpful LGS I've managed to get a couple of boxes of the 110gn Hornady half jackets to try in 308win with trail boss, I'm looking for a subsonic and max velocity load.

Also since I'm asking anyway is a load of Benchmark 8208 posible or safe in a 44mag?

10 to 14g of trailboss with 150g so just follow the .7 of maximum guideline here https://www.hodgdon.com/wp-content/uplo ... ds-r_p.pdf

Why couldn't they put that on the ADI site.

Because ADI would rather sell you a reloading guide for $10

Or powder that only comes in 1.5kg bottles.

Rifle or pistol? Bullet weight?

Either way, it is "safe" from a pressure standpoint. It's going to make a hell of a flash, though and the velocity is poor.

A 240 grain bullet, in a 6" barrel, at 18.5 grains is only predicted to reach <8000 psi (550 bar).

Thats good, I was looking at a 240gn pill from a rifle.
If the pressure is that mild then velocity is probably going to be quite slow.
But at least I can load some up and test them.

It's very slow. Make sure it exits the barrel!

Where's the fun in that, its only a Ruger
