I did a little loading of 4227 for .44-40, as a low-pressure load for a 1st Gen single action.
I used 14.3 grains under a cast 200, and I think I chose that charge weight because it is the same as I use for .30 Carbine!
After firing fifty rounds, I decided to bite the bullet, and load only black powder.
