Rick..........I checked my powders...........I have 2400 and WW 231 and WW 630 which have pistol and rifle powder on the can. So I'll start digging some of my dad's old reloading manuels and see if the Winchester powder is listed. The Hornady 265 should get the job done. Thanks again Ray P 16# of Bu...

Anyone have a good start load for this rifle? A friend droped off a Ruger 77/44. He would like a good bear/deer load. He droped off empty brass, but I don't what would be a good powder for a 44mag in a rifle.
Thanks for any help.
