heavy 44spl load

So I'm getting ready to load some 44spl with some heavy 260g gas checked hollow points. Lead is around 13bhn.

Will be going through my henry big boy 44mag/44spl with a 20in barrel so no pressure concerns and I don't mind going over 44spl max by a bit if needed.

using
starline brass
CCI #300 large pistol primers and
power pistol powder as it has performed the best in my long barrel

This will be a light subsonic deer hunting load for my son, I have a ballistics gel block I will be shooting into it tomorrow. just looking for good hunting performance.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Neither the writer, The Firing Line, nor the staff of TFL assumes any liability for any damage or injury resulting from the use of this information.

For reference my current load is a bit over max
starline brass
CCI #300 large pistol primers and
power pistol 8.1g
Hornady 240g xtp
avg 1034fps


Not sure were to start...
