I think I was using around 40 grains of Accurate 1680 behind a 200 grain Hornady bullet. 45-70 Gov’t in specific are all relatively. I remember watching a T/C muzzle brake flying downrange from a 2500+ fps 375 Win load from a 15" barrel. In general, subsonic ammunition operates at much lower pressures than does that cartridge’s supersonic options, and. I found out that same velocity could be obtained with a site less powder and muzzle blast. I know some of my loads contained 28+ grains of powder.
45 Colt with W296 behind a 300 grain bullet wasn't going to deliver much more than 1300 fps. I learned that with slower burning powders that work great in magnums, you still reach a point of saturation.Īdd more powder, gain zero velocity. Give a young guy a press, a Ruger and a T/C and one thing leads to another.īuying a chronograph cured me of such. 454 Casull when I was much younger and had a lot stronger hands I pushed the limits way beyond anything published.Ī friend that I strongly discouraged from trying loaded 6 of my 300 grain hard cast rounds in his 629 Smith, he fired one round, the cylinder rotated backwards and opened. Trailboss is even slower, but it's hard to recommend for jacketed bullets or any hunting application above vermin.Working with H110/W296 in straight wall big bore cartridges like the. If you want non-magnum handgun velocity, Unique is the easy starting point. You can check this, but that might be a Lever-Evolution bullet, which means it's designed for Magnum velocity, aka it's not going to expand one bit at sub sonic speeds! It'll poke a nice small hole and that hole will close right behind the bullet and not leave a blood trail.īut hey, you're experience may vary. It'll tear a very small hole and not do the job. A bullet like that needs to be going a certain speed or it won't expand at all. I'm going to agree with another poster that you should speed that bullet up for deer, or at least do some good research. If you tried to go that slow with a jacketed bullet, you'd probably start sticking them in the barrel occasionally. Really fun load, actually, but I wouldn't normally go that low. Should have been around 500fps, maybe less. 44 Special velocity.Ī 200gr RNFP with Universal at 1000fps is a very nice shooting load.Ībout the slowest 44mag ammo I've made is 240gr slug seated right down on top of 3gr of trail boss. The cheap answer is to go over to Missouri Bullets' web site and order you some lead bullets and load them with the middle of the road pistol powder to. The issue with medium and fast burning pistol powder is that overloading increase the pressure very rapidly from one load to the next, so in this case I would ask the ballistician at Hodgdon, or at Brand X powder company. The FTX sits deep in the case, but the max loads are low pressure to keep the plated bullets under 1200fps. The start loads for the 220gr BERB would probably be safe. Universal will probably work to go subsonic with the FTX, but you can't just use the 225gr Speer data to get there, since the FTX bullet sits deeper in the case, and therefore raises the pressure. The 225gr FTX is, generally speaking, a "hunting bullet" so I would only assume that Hodgdon would list "full power" loads. And so do the heavier bullets up to the 300gr XTP. The 200gr and 240gr cast lead bullets have several subsonic loads listed. Also with Universal and a 220gr BERB (I assume that means Berry's). There is a subsonic load listed with Universal and a 225gr Speer bullet. 44 Magnum is built entirely from premium, match-grade components and is manufactured to strict tolerances. This high-performance 225gr Subsonic Expanding. Just because Hodgdon doesn't list it doesn't mean it cant be done. Add To Cart.44 Mag 225gr Subsonic MAX Expander.
Different bullets, heavier bullets, or a different powder.
