I got brass, powder, primers, and bullets for 2000 44 magnum loads. WAHOOO!!!!!!!

Had to be Johnny on the spot for the dang primers though. Got an email saying in stock and jumped on it.

Can't wait to start reloading.

CCI large pistol magnum primers. 2000
Hornady XTP 240 and 180 grainers. 1000x1000
IMR 4227 powder. 8lbs
And Winchester brass. 2000

I'm so happy right now. LOL
 
I'm limited on the quantity I can buy I cheated and got 2000 though. ;) Created a separate account.

When I first saw this, I thought "IMR 4227?", but it looks like you made some great component choices. You can get some decent velocities out of 4227. I wouldn't have thought to use that (preferring 296, but acknowledging COVID shortages), so I learned something today....

Yes Sir. It was my go to years ago for 44 magnum. I'm surprised I still remembered the powder since I haven't reloaded since 1995. ;)

I haven't tried 296 yet. When I get my new manuals I will start experimenting again for sure. ;)
 
After conducting a little research that this post prompted me to do, I really want to find some Hodgdon Lil Gun powder.... That stuff will push a 240 grainer over 150 fps faster than 4227 and over 100 fps faster than H110 (another of my "go-to" powders for big bores).

Magnums ain't for sissies, right? ;)

Powder Valley has the 1 lb container of Lil Gun in Stock at the moment.

It is one of my favorite powders to use for the little 410 bore shotshells.
