OK I reloaded the 44 mag cases this morning. I started loading with the HP-38(win 231) with the higher end of 44 special-6.4 gr, then 6.9 gr, 8.0 gr. Everything went well. 6.4 was definitely weak, so I know I won't bother with that load again. I'm thinking I will settle around the 7-8 grain loads for now. My Dad liked shooting it with not nearly the recoil of a 44 magnum load. Thanks for all the input guys.
