I have only used it in my BFR in 45-70. Never thought about using it in a 44 mag or other handgun round. If you're going to make a hole, make it a big one. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ Member of the Delaware Destroyers Member Reeders Misfits NRA Life Member ENDOWMENT MEMBER NAHC Life Member DSA Life Member | |||

It is interesting that Lyman lists loads for SR4759 in 357 Mag for the 158 and 168 grain boolits, but NO loads for the 44 Mag. When I inquired about this on another site(after I acquired 12 lbs of SR4759) the consensus of the opinions I received was that it was likely too bulky to get a load with any performance out of the 44 mag case capacity/expansion ratio/boolit weights.

Yes, it was designed for reduced velocity loads in larger cases where more powder space could be filled with it's bulk. It used to be sold in 8 oz cans because 1# would not fit the little tin cans. However it works like a charm in calibers like the 7BR and 7R, maybe the 7 Waters too. It would shoot in the .44 but velocity would be very low. | |||
