Winchester 244 powder...

[McGuiver]

Has anyone out there tried the new W244 powder? I have read up on it. It has been available to bulk reloading manufacturers, and now us.



I picked up a pound to try out for 38/357, 9mm, 45 ACP, and 45 LC.

I like the 160 gr bullet load for 45 LC.



Here is the same weight bullet in 45 ACP. Not as good.



Here is another load I want to try for 255 gr SWC in 45 LC.



I have shot DRT ammo before, and have been happy with this load.

Here is my 155 gr Hi-Tek coated SWC round. I loaded with 9.3 gr w244 powder. This is a 45 LC round.



Can't wait to see how these shoot out of my revolver and carbine.

I just tried 200 rounds with the W244 powder. I can say I like it. It is a "wetter" powder than Accurate #5. It tends to stick in the bottom of my powder measure once empty, but measures just fine.

155 gr SWC with 9.3 grains of W244 for 45 LC.

I do like the accuracy of this load. I think I will be loading more. It is a fairly clean powder too.

I was comparing it to CFE Pistol and found that it was making the same velocity/pressure as CFE Pistol in the 9mm while using a grain less powder.. I compared data here and there and it seems to fill a niche that Hodgdon powders at the moment are not filling. And it has the CFE properties also.

I like how it shoots in my 45 LC pistol. I will be trying it this weekend in a 9mm Pistol Caliber Carbine. It looks to be promising in a 9mm rifle.
