Alliant Herco Powder


Recommended Posts

Does anybody use Herco in 44 Mag or 12 Gauge for Cowboy Shooting. I have a bottle and need to use it up. I couldn't find load data in current guides but in older ones I could. I know we cant list load data but a PM would be appreciated. I just don't want to let it set if it can be used.

It is an excellent powder for standard and magnum loads in 44 Mag. But it is a little slow burning for cowboy.

 

But for a nice 44 Mag load it is great! Not so good for 12 gauge as again, it is relatively slow.

I had an old timer tell me a few years ago, "Anything Unique will do, Herco will do". Herco is a bit slower than Unique, but works well enough in .40 cal and up Cowboy loads - never tried it in shotshells.

It's for my father in law to plink with. Most stuff I can find is for shot shell but more for heavy loads. Just need a starting point for the 44mag with a 200gr lead bullet. Just wanting to use it up really. Thanks for the advice.
