Yesterday I posted on another site that I needed some help with some rather questionable .44 Magnum reloads. Here's what I had posted but got no response:

Hoping some of you guys are into reloading and have some reloading tables handy.
I moved to Illinois last September and got rid of all my reloading books/manuals. Below are some of the loads I had loaded and merely want to see if any are either meek, mild or hot. These are all .44 Magnum loads in either new or once fired cases:
24 gr. 4227, 240 gr. Jacketed Soft Point
24 gr. 4227, 200 gr. Jacketed Hollow Point (XTP)
23 gr. 4227, 240 gr. Jacketed Hollow Point (XTP)
16.5 Blue Dot, 200 gr. Jacketed Hollow Point (XTP)
22.6 gr. 4227, 200 gr. RN FP BB (Hard cast)
19 gr. 2400, 200 gr. RN FP BB (Hard cast)
RN = Round nose
FP = Flat Point
BB = Bevel base
XTP = Hornady brand JHP
If I remember correctly, they all had LP Magnum primers!!
Many thanks to anyone who may have the spare time to look up this info for me.

Anyone care to help me out here? No liability involved, just trying to see what the loading tables show for these particular loads listed above. I sure don't want to have to purchase a reloading manual just to determine these loads since I am no longer into reloading. Many thanks!

Thanks GK. This is kinda what I am looking for. Really, want to determine if the ones I have listed fall into which catagory of:
MEEK
MILD
or HOT.
Some of the older manuals used to show the lowest recommended and then the moderate and finally ones that should be the maximum loads. Hope this makes sense the way I am asking it?

I always load to low end for revolver. Pistol i bump it up .2, depending on powder & load. I can dig out some old manuals to see what the numbers are.

if you could do this, it'd be great. As already indicated, I am merely trying to find out if these listed are considered MEEK, MILD or HOT. I don't believe I ever loaded any of my reloads HOT because I could never see the risk of possibly abusing the firearm OR my hand from stiff recoil. Thanks!!
Wellll,,, none of those loads will play in Peoria!
Sorry, couldn't help it. I really didn't think I would EVER get to use that line!
