Well, Unique works for me. I like 8.5g under the 240g SWC to duplicate the .44Special Skeeter load (1000fps) in .44Mag and then for all around 10g under the 240g SWC for a bit more punch (around 1100fps). Since I already have dedicated .44Spec revolvers to shoot the Skeeter load, I tend to load the .44Mag with the 10g load which is still a 'shoot all day' accurate load! I don't use H110/296 as it is an all or nothing powder. I prefer Unique for more range of power levels in the mid range. Turn to 2400 for the heavy (which I don't load much of).
