I routinely run 240gr LSWC hardcast bulk bullets up to 9.0-9.5gr of Titegroup. Max published load is 10.0gr. I don't get any fouling in my redhawk. The max you quoted was from the cowboy only section which is a bit prudish, IMO. Even full powered titegroup loads are nothing compared to an H110/Win296 load.

And lets face it, you didn't buy a 44mag to shoot loads equal to light 38specials. At least, I didn't.

I even push the same bullets with H110 when I am feeling...adventurous. Leading is there a little bit, but not bad. Comes out quickly.

Again, there is a mountain of felt recoil difference between 9.0gr of Titegroup and 24.0gr of H110. Try the titegroup load with the 240gr bullets you ordered. You'll like.
