Jackson Haller Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 (edited) Hi all! A LGS has some of this Winchester powder on sale; was wondering if anyone uses it for CAS; 38 spec, 44 spec, 45 colt. Edited August 5 by Jackson Haller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shepherd Book Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Yes. Not me, but I am making a powder run this week and a fellow shooter asked me to look for it for him as that's what he runs. SB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laramie Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 I’ve been using 244 since Trailboss went away. I really like it. I don’t think I’d switch back. It’s much cleaner than trailboss or unique. Laramie 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 I note that 244 is also listed as suitable for shotgun shells. I plan to use it for my 45 ACP loads when I use up my 231. I can also load shotgun shells if I run low on my favored shotgun loading powders. (I anticipate more powder shortages as armed conflict increases in the world.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenW Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 I use Win 244 in .38 Special for Cowboy loads. Minimum starting load and use same load for both 125 and 147 gr. TC bullets. It's been working fine for me with minimum residue and recoil. I do recommend it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abe E.S. Corpus SASS #87667 Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 I was looking for a replacement for Hodgdon Universal for .44-40. I worked up a couple of loads with it although it’s a little fast. Reasonably clean but seemed snappier than Universal at similar velocities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
