Hi . Just wondering if a 44 mag can be re loaded with Lever revolution powder .

Just a question , you don't know unless you ask , right .

I would have never known to use LilGun unless someone told me .

Thanks .
 
No, not that I'm aware of anyway. It's a rifle powder, so it burns much to slow. You could try it but I suspect you'll have alot of unburnt powder.
 
Leverevolution is both a line of loaded ammo and a powder. Two separate things.
The powder is only used in a few of the different cartridges that are part of the ammo line. The others are loaded with other unknown powders.
All the loaded ammo features the FTX or Mono Flex bullets.

The confusion is common. Lots of people ask for 45-70 data using leverevolution powder and like for the 44 mag, it doesn't exist.

I find it strange that I even have documentation saying those two are the same but I have the Hornady #9 and Nosler #7 manuals and they list them separately with loads 0.1gr different in some loads. I wish I could find some 296 but luckily I have about 5 pounds of H110 and a buddy is selling me 4 more :)
 
There are more than a few powders that go by different names. I even started a thread about it a few years back (though it wasn't always well-received :ninja:).

A 0.1gr difference doesn't mean much when you consider there can be some variation between different lots of the same powder. Also, chamber and bore dimensions can make a much greater difference in the ballistic results of handloads. Remember: handloads are tailored to your gun, not the cartridge.

I understand that but it's weird they are the same powder but have different load data.

I have seven reloading manuals and I find it weird that there can be 4 or 5 grain variations between load data for the exact same cartridge with the exact same powder, but that's the way she blows, eh?

All I can think of for that is each manual uses a different barrel, brass, primer, and bullet. What I see is the Hornady manual listing both powders with different load data all else being equal.
My buddy noticed what you are describing recently and the book max in one manual was giving pressure signs in his rifle and then his other manual had a max load a couple grains lower which showed no pressure signs and actually shot quite well.
I guess that's why we all own more than one manual and work up to the max listed load, some blow.
