Last weekend I got a few shots over the chrono:

44 Magnum
Brass:  WW Super
Primer:  CCI-350
7.5" SRH

240 Gr. Powerbond Plated (plinking load  :)) )
11.0 gr. Longshot - 1175 FPS average - ~735 ft. lbs
Very light crimp on cannelure line.

320 Gr. DT Hardcast
16.3 gr. AA #9 (book max) - 1300 FPS average - ~1200 ft. lbs.
Heavy roll crimp on cannelure line.
No visible leading after 8 shots.

The 320 gr. loads although stout didn't recoil excessively which should allow for follow up shots.  I am happy with this load and will let it be.

You should try the 240 grain with 16.2 grains of Blue Dot, @ 1375-1400 fps... ;D

I've been running 13.2 gr of AA#5 behind the Xtreme 240gr fp
Roughly 1280fps (no Crono here)
So tell me again how Trump was worse then the 8 years before .... AND what came after HIM !
