Basically, loading (tested .44 Special/.44 Magnum and .45 Colt) with less powder and seating the bullet to the outer band resulted in approximately the same velocity, less recoil and greater accuracy then with more powder and normal seating depth. This was with 240 grain and 255 grain SWC type bullets and velocities around 850 fps. Anyone try this? Would it hold true with higher velocities?
