Loading Barnes 225 XPB for 44 Mag

AKolomiets · June 20, 2018, 07:44 PM

Looking for a good min/max load recipe for the Barnes XPB 225 gn copper bullet for the 44 mag cartridge. I intended to use published Hornady data for the similar weight bullets, but this guy sits a good bit deeper in the case when seated to the cannelure...
Anyone have a Barnes manual on the shelf for a quick reference? Powder will be H110

"...intended to use published Hornady data..." You need solid copper bullet data, not jacketed data. Use FrankenMauser's link.
