I'm reloading some .44 mags and I'm using CCI300 primers with 240 gr. Hornady XTP bullets (JHP) and Accurate #9 powder. After looking at several other loads using different bullets, I decided on a starting point of 19 gr. These loads seem to work pretty good. They seem fairly accurate and show no signs of high pressure or any other damage.Now I'd like to try increasing the load a bit.How much should I increase the powder each time? (1/10gr., 3/10 gr., 5/10gr.?)
