.44 mag black powder loads
Anyone know if it is possible to load a .44 mag with black powder and 300gr lead bullet. I have tons of bullets and tons of BP. I just thought it would be fun. Any ideas on where to start?

Thanx,
Mark

case full enough you get about 1/8th inch of powder compression should be bout 40 grs or so.

FG FFg. I really think that in any good 44 mag one couldn't put enough black powder in a case to develop enough pressure to do any harm.
