thank you! I've always loaded near or at max for H110, surprised they have that big of a min and max.

Yet with 296. It only has max data at 16.9grn. Saying Winchester doesn't recommend reduced loads.
for 158's my lee book and campro website also only list max loads and no minimum. was the same with 44 mag and 240gr, I'll stick with at or near max for sure.

Working in a ballistics lab, I started using H110 for .44 magnum but the v0 velocity is only 1431 fps. That's about 18.6gr with a 240hp. the book load is 23-24 so it's often good and sometimes inconsistent. I switched over to 11.6gr unique and it's way tighter. I promise you, H110 only likes it hot.

saved, thank you very much!
hot is what I need, the DE's don't seem to like it any other way.

Asking my buddy what he uses in his 357 DE.
I'd be curious to see what he says, I loaded 80 rounds last night at 16.9, and a fairly good roll crimp. I'll give em a whirl this weekend. thinking of pulling all my previous loaded 357 I had done for my revolvers and uploading them if these work.
well the ammo ran the DE great! big fireball and low recoil, there is definitely powder residue left behind but I think that happened on the 44 magnum as well.
I have a good supply of old tins of winchester 540, still in good shape and condition. this powder is the same as HS-6 correct? might give that a whirl next

Yes, HS-6=Win 540.
thank you for confirming and the data!
