Ruger 77-44 loads

[Hank in Indiana]

I got one for christmas. I'm looking for a 200 g. lead load for squirrels and a 240 g. JSP load for deer. If you have a pet load for a 1-20" barrell twist please share. I've been using Lil gun but the groups haven't amazed me yet.

12 gr HS 6 under the 240's have gave pretty decent results with this light load, even though I reload I've got lazy over the last couple years and for hunting I've been using the hornady Leverevolution got to say they shoot real well and terminal performance is well pretty terminal to deer

Lil Gun performs best with compressed loads and heavier bullets. I use 21 grains under a 270 grain cast lead bullet in my Marlin. For lighter bullets in the 44 but still high velocity, I would use 2400.
