I'd like to use reduced recoil 44M loads. Freedom Arms 10'' Revolver. Cast 240gr.

I think I need at or about 1000 fps MV. I have an RCBS 240Sil and Lyman 429244.

Recommendations ? Thanks

Used 7.5 grains of WW231 years ago in my Ruger SBH; it was accurate and reduced recoil from my normal 22.0 grains of Herc2400.

7.5 grains of Bullseye, TiteGroup, 700X, Red Dot or WST will approximate that.

Have a fresh opened 12lb keg og Dupount PB to use up. 9 grains behind the Lyman 244 is a laser out of a red dot equipped DW744.

I used 7.0 Unique an it felt workable. 240 RCBS Sil. I'll use this until I run out.
