    You don't specify if 44 Special or 44 Magnum or some other.
    So here goes for 44 Special: Start 6.0, max 8.9
    44 Magnum: Start 9.0, max 13.0
    This data is from Lyman handbook #45, dated 1970 and was for a gaschecked bullet.
    Start low and work up. If you wanted data for a 44 other than the ones I listed, let me know.

    you an back the mag load down some [to 7 grs] if you want to, to start.
    and the special loads down a bit [5 grs] if you want some light,light loads.
