240 lswc 44 mag cartridge weight

mack69 · June 12, 2007, 03:24 PM

Can anyone tell me what the weight of a 240 lswc 44 mag cartridge is? I am trying to compare the weight of my reloaded cartridges to the weight of a factory cartridge just to have a base line to check against. Any assistance would be appreciated. mack

Winchester brass
Winchester large pistol primer
Win 231 powder - 11 grns
240grn LSWC bullet

Too many variables..
brands of brass, primers and powder.
They are all different.

And then, a 240 grain bullet may not actually weigh 240 grains.

What're you trying to do, check the powder charge of a loaded round? You wont be able to tell an 11 gr difference. In order to do that you would have to weigh all your brass before loading, and all your bullets.
