Hello-
I was hoping someone could help me with some load data for my new mold. I recently aquired a 215gr mold for my .44 magnum, and since my little brother is visiting for the week, I figured it would be a great bullet for him to cut his teeth on the mag with. I cast a couple of hundred bullets, then discovered I can't find any load data for 215gr cast bullets in my limited powder selection. I primarily use 800x and 5744; first powders I bought when I started, and I've been pretty pleased so far. I had considered slightly lowering the 225 grain jacketed load in my Lee manual, but I've not been reloading long and certainly don't feel comfortable to tinker with any loads. I was hoping maybe someone out there might have some suggestions...my Internet searches have been unsuccessful. Appriciate any help, y'all.
Thanks!
