To start with I hope this is posted in the correct arena.
Has anyone tried the BTB 290 LFNGC .432 ?
I currently load this in my .444 with great success.
I'm following Marshall's load on the Load Swap.
However I don't find one for this load on the .44 Mag.
Is it due to the bullet length or what ?
Just curious as I have a few bullets left over.

Thank you in advance!!

P.S. Deer season is around the corner.

Webfoot,

I've used that bullet extensively in the .44 magnum over the years, and here's my best load yet, and one that I've shared with customers all over the continent.

BTB .432"-290gLFNGC/22.0g H110/WLPP/Starline Brass

This load usually gives SD figures in the single-digits when fired in a rifle, and terrific accuracy. Please do keep in mind that it is a primer-specific load, and anything other than the listed Winchester primer will deliver mediocre results.

Let us know how these shoot for you!

God Bless,
