By the way, the recipe you mentioned of 19 gr. 2400 and 240 gr. cast is a good one. I personally don't like 2400, because it is a "dirty burner". There are lots of guys that do like it, and when I was using it, it was very accurate. My favorite for all out power is Lil'Gun, H-110, and WW 296. For slightly less, and an excellent powder overall in .44 magnum, try Alliant Bluedot.

I've always found WW 296 a rather dirty powder or is it just me ? I like a load of about 20gns of ADI 2205 behind a 240 gn jaketed in the .44 mag (H4227) & for cast slugs I use 4.5 gns of green dot for a cowboy load with the 240g slug & 8gns of SR7625 as a nice light plinking load

I've not found 296 or H-110 to be dirty burners...as long as they are used at high pressure/near max loads as is required with these powders. With 2400, I had unburned powder getting lodged under the ejector in my double action revolvers to the point that I couldn't close the cylinder.
