Anyone have load data for .429 A-Frames in 280 & 300gr? Just curious as to what velocities a guy can actually expect with them in the 44 mag. I really don't want to buy Swifts book for a bullet I may load someday...
Vance, load development with Aframes can get expensive, so my limited experience with 280 gr Aframes in 44 Mag is:
280 gr Aframe 21.5 gr H110 (start lower) CCI 350 Starline virgin brass 1.590 oal 1370 fps ave 10" SBH
I really like 240 gr Aframe better for deer than 280 gr. They clock 1470 fps out of the 10" SBH. I don't hunt bear, moose, etc, so the lighter bullet suits my needs better. I haven't tried 300 gr Aframes. Hope this helps.
Thank you sir! That does help.
