265gr FTX loaded in 44mag

[billetmann]

has anyone loaded the new 265gr Hornady FTX in a 44 mag revolver?

i have read someone tried and limited success because the COAL was so long.

also read where someone used it in a blackhawk or superhawk with 21grn of H110 with good success

i have a Raging Bull in 44Mag and was thinking of using these.

used them anyway,

shot extrememly well. at 50 yards all in the black from free hand and iron sights. (all 50).
they fit to edge of the chamber and the chamber rotated without any interference so COAL was good enough.

the load , though compressed was decent without any signs of extremem pressures.
21.5 grn H110

awesome looking round would not hesitate to shoot again-- matter of fact already ordered some.

Thanks for the feedback on the successful outing with the FTX's.
