.44mag load

[6MT]

I've been using H-110 for a nice load for my Marlin 1894 for some time now. But I just sold all of my stash (9+ pounds) of H-110. I was wondering whether anyone has tried the very fast burning TiteGroup powder for their .44mag loads.

I am looking at trying a load of around 8gr for the 240gr plated Campro bullet with large pistol magnum primers. Am I on the right track, or am I a loony tune? I realize that the popular loading with this round is a much slower powder (such as H-110). But I am wondering whether anyone has tried it with TiteGroup....(?).

The only info I can find about this is for 240gr cast bullets with TiteGroup. Around 6 to 10 grains with maximum velocities of just over 1400fps. But I will be using plated bullets, so a bit more is warranted (I think). (This will not be a Cowboy Action load.)

Any help is appreciated.



EDIT: Please disregard. I've been convinced that TG at max charge wouldn't give any where near the same velocities as H-110 or some of the other slower burning powders. I guess I'll bite the bullet and pick-up a pound or two of H-110 (since I already have a load for it).

Thanks for looking!

Win 296 if avail and 2400 is not and maybe AA9.  Being a wimp and shooting Cowboy action loads I use 5.2 grains AA2 but you want a lot more velocity

IMR4227 would be another option if it's available.
