Thanks everyone! This information is very helpful.

I will be shooting a Ruger Super Redhawk 7.5" barrel (44mag). I have H110 already so I will probably try to load 23 grains of H110 with a Mag primer at least to start.

One more question: HOW HEAVY OF A CRIMP DOES THIS NEED?

I have hornady new dimension II dies. I have a 4 die set so i will be seating the bullet in the "third stage" and using a ROLL crimp in the 4th stage. I was just planning on setting the die (roll crimp) so it touches the brass and then going 1/4 turn until there is a nice little Roll at the top of the brass.
