Ok I need some help.  As I have only been reloading for a couple of years now, I need some advice from some of the older reloading manuals. I need to know loading data for a cast 250 grain semi-wad cutter, I need powder charges as well as C.O.L. with bullet seated.  I need these for 44 magnum as well as 44 special.  If anyone could help me with that it would be great because for some reason they seem to be leaving out certain grain bullets in the newer manuals.   I thank whoever will take the time to do this.

Emailed you some scans, if you want what I consider a great reloading book,
http://www.amazon.com/Metallic-Cartridge-Reloading-M-McPherson/dp/0873491807/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1264964616&sr=1-1

Ive seen it going for up to 75 bucks on ebay and amazon in the past, $21 is a great deal. Nothing using Titegroup or anything developed after '92, but 11 pages of 44 Special,  Mag, Mag Carbine, lots of "old school" loads, propriatary and generic, burn rates, tips, etc.
