10 gr 800-x
19 gr 2400
for fun and light plinking 4-5 grs titegroup.
cast of course.
Of course 231, unique, AA#5 and many more I have used with great success, but I have started using the newer powders and found that 7grs. of Auto Comp gives you 886 fps. according to the manufactures data. I only mention this because I got some for my 44 Special. In my 629 with a 8 3/8 tube, this 7gr. load shoots very good. In fact, I have not found a load that shoots the 240 SWC better in my 44 mag. Not so in the Special, but I have more loads too try before I'm convinced. It's fun shooting this light accurate load in my big Smith. Good luck!
21- 22 grains of WW 296, with a magnum primer.
19 - 20 grains Accurate #9 works for me. 19.0 is a great lighter load and work up from there until you get the velocity you want.
+1 on the ww 296
Using 7.0 grs. TRAIL BOSS for practice.
Having trouble deciding between 2400 and H110 for hunting load, both good. Decision often made by which one closest to front of shelf.
