From what I've seen there may be two different pressure level shot loads in the 44-40/44 Game Getter category. The Remington/UMC catalog above mentions loads for the 73 Winchester, I have a partial box of them, and then the 44 GG loads. Right now the only GG marked load I have is a ball load. I guess I'll first try some black powder loads and try to get them over the chronograph without hitting my screens and them I'll start working up smokeless loads. I'm thinking Herco ought to be about the right burning rate if it proves to be too slow I'll try Unique. IIRC I used Unique in my earlier loads. Anyone have have a better idea or suggestions?
