- Hmmm. I have some H110 and was thinking about making some .44 Special

- but maybe I'll just use up some old Unique instead...).

- Any idea why they say this about H110? I know they say to use Magnum
- primers... Is it a worry that you will get a partial ignition (just
- enough to wedge the bullet in the bbl, then the full ignition to
- blow the gun?
-
- Scary to think that a powder might be lethal in a 'special' load ...
