Hey guys, I need the max load data for H110,.44 mag ,240g Hornady JHP. If you have your manuals handy I would appreciate it. The more the better.

Thanks

Nosler #4
240 gr. Nosler HP, SP
23.8 gr. H110 (max) 1572fps w/8.25" barrel

Speer # 13
240 gr. Speer JHP, JSP, TMJ-Sil.
24.0 gr. H110 (max) 1451fps w/7.5" barrel

Rifle loads, or pistol?

From Hornady Handbook of Cartridge Reloading Fourth Edition:

240 grain bullet
Max C.O.L. is 1.610"
They used Win WLP Primers.
Starting load of H110 was 21.8 grs. (1200 fps)
Max. load is 24.9 grs (1450fps)

I will be loading for a Super Redhawk. It looks like the old manuals are giving a max of 24.8 and the new manuals are more conservative at 24.0g.

The Super Redhawk is a strong gun and I should be fine to load at 24.5g of H110. Does anyone see a problem. I will be using this for a hunting load so i need all the power I can get. What is the max you guys have loaded for the Super Redhawk.
