You won't find better than that for .44 Magnum (or .357 Magnum for that matter).

Also, Belmont Magnum Pistol sell for about $50 for 500 grams where as 2205 is about $70 for 500 grams.

You would have to be a bit mental to spend $20 more on a bottle of 2205 over H110/Win296.

Thanks for that. H110 usually needs a Magnum primer, I read. Belmont the same, or will a standard CCI set it off okay?
