Pietta is conservative to a fault. 12-15grs in a .44 is a very small mouse phart. That would be a light load for a brass frame revolver in .44.

It would be interesting to know how many times they or their distributors have had legal action against them. I can't blame them for protecting themselves from the U S courts and bottom feeding lawyers. (no offense to any lawyers out there)
