Reloader 7 in .44-40
LonesomePigeon:
The other day I found a jar of Reloader 7 at the gun shop. I have not seen this powder around here probably for years. I have never used it either. When I saw it there I seemed to remember Savvy Jack of Chasing the 44-40 https://sites.google.com/view/44winchester/introupdates likes this powder for .44-40 rifle loads so I bought it.
The two manuals I have, Lyman 50th Reloading Handbook and Lyman 4th Cast Bullet Handbook do not have any data nor did the Alliant website. Does anybody know of any published data for Reloader 7 and the 44-40?
Dakota Ike:
The 1995 Reloaders Guide for Alliant Smokeleless Powders has one rifle load listed for the 44-40 Win. with Reloader 7.
Cast 240L. Rem. 2 1/2 primer. Min OAL 1.580 inches. Rem. Case. 24 inch barrel.
23.5 gr Reloader 7. 1290 fps. 12,100 c.u.p.
bear tooth billy:
On a burn rate chart, fastest to slowest, it is#71 out of 142. 23 gr. will probably about
fill the case.
