I can recomend a powder for the .44 mag cast lead loads. I cast, and load for .41 mag with lead. I followed an old family friend's advice and bought some Acurate #9. It was a bit more expensive than Alliant 2400. I like the #9 way better. It is much cleaner, and has way less flash.
I would recomend the Lyman Pistol and Revolver loading manual. It has the most listed loads for .44 mag, and special, as with all other handgun calibers. It also has a detailed chapter on casting lead.
