I should add the standard disclaimer ... check a couple of reload manuals and powder mfg sources before you trust any of my numbers. I live by Ronald Regan's line "trust, but verify".

I'm still tinkering with loads for the SRH I bought last Spring. The Trail Boss loads in the 6.5-7.o gr with 240 gr swc are pretty pleasant to shoot in my SRH, although I haven't put enough time into learning the gun. For the hotter side, it's been 2400 and more recently AA#9. I've run up to 20 gr of 2400, but found that a more sane dose at 18.5 gr would just as easily get the job done. The AA#9 was a very pleasant surprise, and I think in the future I'll probably concentrate my .44 mag efforts for both the SRH and the Rossi M92 on #9. It's still good to know that Unique will work in a pinch too.

rifle or handgun?

I've been prepping a bit of 45 acp brass the last couple of nights and will probably be loading a few hundred later this week. I found out for sure that my new XDs really likes the 230 gr Bayou Bullets over 10.1 gr of AA#7. Unfortunately running pretty short on AA#7 and may have to go back to Unique for a while. I do need to get back to the .357 loading since there's only 2-3 boxes left in the drawer. Been too hot to even want to think about working on the .44 mag or .30-30 rifle loads. After Dove Season I'm sure that reloading will be my main interest again, and I'll get back into the habit of going to the range to empty some brass for reloading.
