Reloading the 44-40 with Red Dot Powder

[Dutch Coroner]

Hello everyone,

 

I’m hoping that with the vast experience on here that someone will be able to save me some time.  :-)

I’ve run out of my regular powder but I have an 8lb keg of Red Dot, however, I can’t final any data on it for a 165 grain bullet for the 44-40. Everything is 200 grains and above. 
 

Does anyone have a favorite Red Dot load they would be willing to PM me?
 

Appreciate the help.

 

Thank you,

 

Dutch

Anything safe for a 200g will be safe for a 165.  I would just start at the 200 start charge and the chronograph to verify how fast it’s going.   I know in my 44 spl I am below start charge and they are light and easy to shoot.
