For those of you using these powders (especially my .44mag customer) eg GM3 and BA9 here is the loading data:

Hopefully this will be of assistance to some of you.
ATB and see you all at the Phoenix (I hope)

Strangely no listing for GM3 for the 44mag, in practice I find 5.4gr works nicely with cast 200gr lead RNFP and 7gr with the 240gr boolits.

I use 5.5 grains of GM3 in my .44 with a 240 grain boolit.It will out shoot me all day long.

Perhaps this is Roger's point,he feels it's unsuitable for .44.The other powder he mentioned BA9 is there though in stonking loads that very few of us would use.

I think it's more that the powders listed are easier to obtain, GM3 especially is like hens teeth, only place I managed to find some was Peter Lawman at only £36.95/Kg! (and that took some getting!), luckily I still have about 1.8Kg of it left in reserve, I usually use 5.4gr of TiteGroup for my 200gr loads.

Has anyone got a good load for GM3 for 357 using 158 gn lead in a 357 case for a marlin lever action?

Ideally an accurate load for out to 100 yards if poss?

This is for one of my mates thats just picked up a tub of powder, i used to use gm3 in the good old days for most of my pistols (yes, sad isnt it ) but cant remember what i used to use

I use 5.8gn of GM3 with a 158gn RNFP bullet in .357 Starline brass in my Rossi M92 with good results.
I haven't crono`d any but they work well out to 100 yards.
This load works well in MY rifle, use this load data at your own risk.

GM3 available from Neil Jones. I'm picking some up at The Phoenix.
