Elmer Keith .44 Magnum load

[BubbaDX]

Anyone have experience with the Elmer Keith loads for 44 Magnum? I ran across this site while googling the Lyman #429421 mold. Here is a link to an article where he talks about his loads for 44 Magnum.

Elmer Keith was the man.

I've tried a lot of 44 mag molds but his mold was the best. It is a 4 cavity mold and the only one I use now.
I started out using 2400 but then I went to H 110 or Winchester 296.
For a little bit lighter loads I used blue dot powder which gives me about a 44 special plus load.

Here is three of the bullets that I have used before. The one on the left is a 214 gr LEE the one in the middle is a 255 gr LEE The right is a 250 grain Elmer Keith.
I have two lee molds their semi wadcutters but I do not like semi wadcutter bullets
