Going down to pick up a pound of powder to start working on heavy 44 mag loads for my 8&3/8 mod 29 with. I'll be using 320gr cast bullets.
I like Hodgon powders, so am trying to decide between H110, Lil Gun, & H4227.
I guess my question is do pressure & recoil always woirk hand-in-hand? Hodgon lists the 110 & lil gun loads at about equeal pressures with comporable velocities(max loads). 4227 has 4,000 lower cup with a loss of 90 fps.
I'm looking for a bear/moose load, so velocity is important to me, but so is shootability. Will the 4,000 less cup make a large recoil difference? I can't afford to go buy a pound of each right now.
Thanks, Vance in AK.
