What is a good recipe for .44 magnum cartridges?

What application(s) did you have in mind? Target loads, lead loads, full bore jacketed loads?

There are many tried and true loads around but the .44 mag is very versatile and you will have to be more specific to get the best results.
 
For serious use, 280gr.to 325gr. wfn or lfn hardcast bullet with 19.5 to 21.5grs. of H-110 or it's similar WW-296 and Mag. pistol primer.
 
5.5 grains of Titegroup and a 240 grain SWC work nicely, if you can find any Titegroup in your area.
 
Good Reccommendations? Yup, if yur new to it read some manuals. Theres lots of data out there and you will have to find a load that works for you. Sounds like u may be new to this so just dont run out and try a recipe that somebody gives you as performance varies between guns. These days your loads may be limited due to the components you have available in your area.
Maybe advise what kind of powder you have or can get and then seek some advice based on that but each manufacturer has data on their own site. Dont go guessing with a 44mag or any other caliber as the results can be catastrophic.
Good luck:)

this is what i use
h110 20.7 gr
swc 240 gr hard cast (cast my own)
win primer
win case

my loads are much better than the factory stuff
i gave a few to a friend of mine and he was very impressed with his results (he improved his groupings to 3/4" @100yrds)
