I just picked up some VihtaVouri N340 at the gun show (only place I can get it in Austin) in order to try it out with .44 specials. Unfortunately, I've loaded up all of my .44 special brass and all I have left is several hundred .44 mags.

The problem is I only have lead RNFP bullets (200 grain from T&T Reloading). The only loads I can find are for 1400 fps type loads using jacketed bullets in .44 mag. I'd really like to produce some 1000-fps type stuff. Can it be done with this powder?

The other powders I have on hand are Universal & Titegroup. I'm playing with those in .44 special already. Just need to cycle through the brass.
