Do any of y'all load 44 magnum? In particular, do any of y'all load Accurate #2 for 44 magnum? I have a lot of it for .45ACP is the reason I ask and it's the only pistol powder that I have right now. IF I decide to buy specific powder it will be used in a Ruger Super Blackhawk 4 5/8" barrel, a Ruger 44 Carbine and a Ruger 96 in 44 Mag.

Was looking to use what I have on hand for .45ACP since I have a lot of it. I'll pick up some of the mentioned powders based on availability.

I just sorta happened up on a deal to load 44mag......... New Dillon 3 die set, new Dillon caliber conversion for 44mag, 500 new Winchester brass and 200 Berrys 240gr bullets all for $200.
 
When I bought my .44 Blackhawk Hunter it came with a wheelbarrow full of reloading components. There was several pounds of 2400 so that is what I've reloaded with from the start. Plus that's what Elmer Keith shot so I was happy to try his recipes. I'm pretty cheap so when it starts to run out I'm wanting to try H110.
 
Well, it seems that 2400 is a mythical unicorn that has not been seen in my neck of the woods in a long time. I have, however, located a supply of H110 and will be picking up a couple of pounds later today. Thanks for all the input.

Had this this drum for several years, it is kept in a environmentally controlled place. I have loaded it in 44 mag, 410 shotgun, 22 Hornet.

Most recommend mag primers with h110. I use Winchester LP primers in mine.


Standard primers will work but h110 may be a bit dirtier with them.

I have several thousand Winchester LP primers so hopefully I'll be good to go when I get the H110. Thank you for the input.

Edited to add that I just checked my primer stash and I have 700 LP Magnum primers with a price sticker of $1.69 per hundred. THOSE were the days! They've been kept in accordance with all powder and primer storage concerns so they should be just fine.
