Recently tried a load with Win 296 that turned out very well.

-240 gn plated TC flat nosed bullet (Rainer - I think)
-Various cases.
-Standard Large pistol primers (CCI)
-23.5 gn's of Win 296
-medium Roll crimp

According to the books, this should have given me about 1200-1250fps using magnum primers out of a 10" Bbl.

Mine was a 5.5" Redhawk, and I'd rate them about 'medium' on the kick scale. They burned clean, and were accurate enough to bounce bowling pins around at about 25yds.

Maybe this is too little, too late, but I didn't see too much mention made of what primers were used. I made a point to mention that I used standard Large pistol's in my load, and I think this is vital info. Using Magnum primers WILL change the way certain loads respond, so please include this information with your load suggestions. Thank you!
