You won't find 'light' loads with H110. Stuff works best at full throttle..... try just about anything else if you want to reduce your loads.

Mike's right. Never reduce the H-110 loads. They are full power loads only. My favorite plinking load in 44 mag is a 240 SWC over 7.9 gr of Green Dot. I use some Universal in reduced loads also.

My favorite plinker is a 240/250 grain with 11 grains of Unique.
It is pretty pleasant to shoot.

H-110 will give you nothing but trouble in lighter loads. My favorite plinking load in 44 mag is 8.0gr of AA-2 with a 240gr swc cast bullet.

Great minds think alike :)

I think my loads with AA#2 are 7.5gr. with that bullet weight....

Excellent Input ! I find H110 isn't much fun in a 5 inch S&W 29 ! I will find another use for it and try all of your posted loads instead.
