I am soon starting a new load for my 44. I have been shooting the same load since probably 1990. 240 gr. jhp over 24 gr of 296, with CCI350. These are stout hunting loads which have done the job nicely on about 15 whitetails. I have chronoed them just shy of 1500fps.

I am working up a load for 200 gr Speer GD HP. I am looking at 27gr of 296 under my crimped Gold Dots, possibly maxing at 28.5gr. Does anyone have any experience with this load? Or similar? Dispenser is Ruger Redhawk 7.5" tube. Thanks much!
