I've been given a bunch of 210 grain Winchester Silvertip JHPs recently. I'm trying to find a mild/moderate load for a .44 mag, 6" barrel, with Unique in the recipe...it burns pretty clean, and I've got LOADS of it. In all my manuals (some are pretty old), I come up with loads ranging from 6-10 grains Unique, depending on the source. Does anybody have some first-hand experience with Silvertip handloads using Unique (or even Herco), and can enlighten me with a "tried-and-true" recipe that'll provide an accurate and SAFE load? I'd appreciate it.

  My mistake...They're 251 grain Silvertips.
  Too many numbers going through my head.
  Either that, or I'm going senile.

  I believe that your eyes are playing tricks again on you. I have 5 boxes in my basement for my 44's and they are all marked 210grn Silvertips. I use them in my single shot 44's and they group great. Have never used them in my revolvers. Try H110 or 2400 and see what you get from there.

  If I am not mistaken, the silvertip is not a jacketed bullet. It is lead with a silver "wash". Excellent bullet though. Nice wide, deep hollow point. Try 7.5 grains of Unique. Excellent midrange accurate load.
