Am I gon' die?

[Antoine22]

Loaded 11.5 grains of Titegroup, max load says 10. Cartridge is 44 Remington Magnum. Gun is a Desert Eagle.

Probably not gonna die. They will be a little warm Id think though. I only reload for rifle and have several loads a few grains over max with no issues.

 

[Power Pill]

why would you do such a thing?

 

[Daver_II]

Should be fine, but for a few reasons... I would not.

1 possibility of damage to $$$ gun
2 possibility of personal injury
3 later warranty repair on gun may not be covered
4 depending on how many rounds are overcharged... Is it really worth it?

 

[Antoine22]

I usually load 27.5 grains of H110, a little over the advertised max load of 24.5 without any problem. But since Titegroup is a much faster burning powder, I'm not too sure if it's safe.

 

[leverboy]

Yes. You will, indeed, perish. Likely not from this, but mortality is our one constant.

Lol don't do it. You aren't in the desert. Your eagle will say ouch

 

[Antoine22]

Hehehe, I like your humour.

I'd shoot it out of a DE.

"The bullet puller is your friend". And they're waay cheaper than a new DE .

Seriously, 15% over max under a heavy bullet is more than I'd be comfortable with. Certainly not without working up to it looking for pressure signs,,, but why would anyone even do that ? Not like you can't make IPSC Max with a 44 .

What is the point? This is Canada, you are using it for punching holes in paper. If you do it, make sure to post a video of it.

There's no point really. Pulling 50 rounds definetly sucks. I rather shoot them but if it's unsafe then I have no choice.

Titegroup, one of my favorite powders. I'd probably use a bullet puller just to be safe, seeing it's a faster burning powder and pressure doesn't build in a linear fashion for top end loads IIRC (with Titegroup).

 

[Spawn-Inc]

Load up 5 rounds of 10gr, 10.5gr, 11gr and see how the cases look after firing.

 

[bmorsh]

Why load 15% more? Doesn't your mule already kick hard enough? Do wear a bomb suit.

 

[handofzeus]

Titegroup is my favourite .357 powder but it's also one that I don't screw around with load-wise. Fast powders are tricky and should be respected for what they can do.

 

[Crashman]

A grain and a half over in a rifle cartridge is a much smaller percentage than a grain and a half in a pistol. 15% over is WAY too hot for me. Please let us know when and where we should send paramedics.

Am I gon' die?
Maybe, but yer #### is gon' fall off. Lol.

 

[Mil Specs]

YES, we all are at some point . I would predict sometime within the next 80 years barring major medical intervention/advancement.

A bullet puller is pretty easy to use, and remember hindsight is 20/20. How many rounds did you create? You could always buy a marlin 44 rifle, it would probably take that charge, mindyou the DE does have a pretty spectacular locking bolt!!
