Reloader 7 in .44-40

(1/2) > >>

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.
