Has anyone tried the Xtreme 44cal. 240 RNFP in 44 mag?.
I was going to make a medium strength Magnum using ww296
Maybe around 20 gr.

I have a box of those.  price was reasonable so I got a box of them
only reloaded 50 rounds of it so far, no problems
I'm not sure of the accuracy of it since I only did 1 batch.  no significant difference in accuracy that I can tell from my other LSWC that I use

Do you recall what load you used?

I have it written down at home.  i'll check tonight when I get home.
it was a medium-ish strength load, nothing crazy
I used Accurate #9 powder.  i'll check on the powder weight when I get home later.

15 grains of AA#9
A lighter load. My starting point. It's 1 grain lower than recommended starting weight
I don't have a chronograph  so I just go by my palm-chrono
It felt around 1000 fps if I had to guess. I know that's not scientific at all so don't quote me on this.
Hope that helps
