Ranch dog 240 gr 44 data?
Would anyone happen to have Ranchdog's Data sheet for this bullet. I Have the print out for the 265 but don't know why I don't have this one in my downloads. I bought a NOE clone last year and loaded it with 23.5 gas of 296 and it shot great but looking at the 265 data I am worried it might be a little warm because mine are 250 gas lubed and checked. If any one has his data I would appreciate it.

I cannot remmember the charge weight but I more than likely used max W296 or H110 for a 240 grain jacketed bullet . And I’ve shot a bunch of them in 44’s and 444’s .

Thank you for your reply. I Remembered you reporting on them when Ranchdog first cut them. I was once told that jacketed data would be fine for cast ,but have also heard that added friction can increase pressures.
I saw the max charge of 21.6 for the 265gr and thought I really don't want to stress this rifle with max loads but also didn't want to load 296 below pressure to stop pressures from being squirrely.

Lead bullets generate lower pressure compared to jacked bullets due to less friction.

I loaded 5 up this AM over 23 gr of 296 and cut a one inch hole at 75 yards dead center. That will do, this is with the NOE cup point, I cast a bunch of hp's last time and they shoot the same but I loaded 23.5 gr under them last fall.
I prefer a pass through and the hp's with my 50 percent # 2 and 50 percent 20-1 opened really wide so I Imagine the dimple points will work about like a soft nose. I do like HP's in the sixgun.
I loaded 20-1 in my 45-70 under the 310 RD mold and let a few deer down with it but my rebuilt shoulders are not what they were.
My 44 cowboy is a joy to carry so I am looking for a cast bullet to use in that, I feel like I found my load, my rifle always liked 296 and the Speer Gold dot soft point which I haven't seen in a long time. I may not miss them!
