180 gr. 44mag load
What is your favorite load for 180 gr. JHP in 44 magnum? The guns used will be a 10.5 inch Ruger Super Blackhawk and a 9.5 inch Ruger Super Redhawk, both of which will be used for Whitetail Deer hunting.
Thanks.

My all time favorite 180 grain load is 27.0 of WW 296 with magnum primers in Federal brass. Make sure you have tight neck tension and a firm crimp to get best combustion.
