Most load data I have seen calls for the use of magnum primers when H110 is used.

 

Thanks RX. Some other equivalents are IMR4227 and W296.

 

I mainly try to get the winchester LP (for standard and magnum) primers as I only need to stock one LP primer. When they're not available I try to get CCI 350's. I mostly use W296 (same as H110) for jacketed or Alliant 2400 for cast in my 44 revolvers. I haven't noticed a pressure difference between the win, fed standard or CCI350's.... but I also usually run middle of the road loads.

 

Cheers Moleman. Forgot to say that it's for my 1894 44 Mag. Too many hoops to jump to own a pistol here!

 

Boris, where did you get the primers?

I wouldn't mind getting some as well.

 

The Open Range in Toowoomba.

 

i use win. lp primers also for .44 mag so i need only one type of primer. last ones i bought are in a new box. jsb

 

H110 and WW 296 are both listed as requiring Magnum primers as far as I know. IMR 4227 can be used with a standard primer. I have used this powder in 44 magnum before, as well as in 41 magnum, with good results, although i prefer either 296 or H 110 when it is available.

 

Thanks N.I.S ,good to know.

 

Boris,

The Winchester LP primers are rated for standard and magnum cartridge large primer pocket pistol loads. BTW: Also more available than most.

 

CCI 350 with 23.5 grains of H110 and 240 XTP work great in several of my 44 Mag rifles.

 

Thanks REK. I use the same load, only I've been using Winchester 240gr flat points. It's hard to find much variety in 44 cal projectiles here at the moment.

 

I also use 23.5gr H110/W296 and the 240XTP. I've had good luck with the XTP in rifles and pistol...with a sabot in a muzzeloader too. The only 44 bullets I've had a bad experience with were some Winchester 240gr SJHP back in the 90's that didn't open up larger than bore dia when shot from a 8" pistol into a doe at about 30 yards. Even the tougher xtp's would mushroom with similar shots, although not as much as the long discontinued hornady SJHP or a Sierra 240gr hp. 240xtp shoot great in my 44 marlin and work great on deer so I try to not run out of those.

 

Next question. Vihtavouri powders are turning up here and there. Has anyone had good results with n110 or n120?
