.410 square load
I decided to do a little toying around like Charlie does, except I went the other way. A .410 lead round ball is about 60ga., around 130 grains. I loaded some .44mag cases with 8gr Unique, an over powder card, 130gr of 8&1/2 and an over powder card to close it off. The first shot sounded weak and left a lot of unburnt powder in the bore. The second likewise. I then went from Unique to 6gr. of Solo1000 and things got crackin'. The primers show no sign of over pressure and the bores were clean. A beer can at 23 yards took 10 hits per shot. Now I'm going out to try the load with my little string pull trap. Charlie, this stuff is great fun.
