I was shooting 300gr. hard cast commercial FN's with 20gr. WW296. Long been rumored, Hodgdon's data now shows H1110 and WW296 as the same powder. This load is not for a steady diet in the S&W, of course. I've now gone 'through' 2 M29's with too many of these types of loads. Now playing with .44 SPL brass and 200's with TB - loads of fun rapid tapping.
I have a titanium S&W in 44 mag--and can tell you I certainly feel those when I touch off a 300gr Hard cast as you described above..which is what I carry/pack when in griz country..as do many others around here..
Didnt know the H110 & ww296 story though..thx for that...
