Bull Skinner Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I load IMR Red powder with a 165 gr TC in 44 Special and like the results. I acquired a bunch of 44 Russian cases and wondered if any of you have used it in that case with the 165 gr TC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I just received 500 .44 Russian cases from Starline this afternoon. I've seen IMR Red on the shelf, but have never used it. I'm trying .44 Russian to save on BP. I would think Red would work as well as any of the other standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster Ron Wayne Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I'm unfamiliar with Red . But you can load just about anything with Unique. Just Sayin if it's a shotgun powder it would probably work just fine. Rooster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bull Skinner Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 Rooster its Hodgdons version of Red Dot replete with the red dots. I load it 0.2 of a grain below Red dot for about the same performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between me and Marshal Duncan we spent more time this year with Doctors than our cowboy compadres. But, I'm finished with chemo and feeling stronger every day and I think Duncan's gettin' lined out also. We oughta be aggravatin' you fellers plenty come Spring. As far as the 1860s go you just ain't noticed em before. Had em awhile. I'll bring em to your attention next time we shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
