I see some things in your post I wanted to comment on. First remember 1.600 is the Min OAL anything longer will only reduce the pressure. When loading the 44 magnum to this level you need to have a good heavy crimp to keep the bullet from jumping the crimp and locking up your revolver. Also I looked in my new Lee reloading manual they list 22.0 grains of IMR 4227 as a starting load as your book said but 24.0 as a maximum load. I checked this with Hogden's web site and they listed the same load Data.Good luck and have fun.Aaron
