So I got the .44 Hand Load schematic from Jules in North Vegas. But I don't know how to use it. There isn't a .44 hand load recipe at the reloading bench.

Has anyone gotten obtained reload recipes to work? if so how.

isnt it called .44 wadcutters?

I believe you need the hand-loader perk.

What do you need to get the schematics from him?

I am unsure of all the specifics so I can only offer what worked for me.

What you're looking for is in the New Vegas Square. You need to find a man named Jules. You need to pass a "guns" and a "survival" check to learn the recipe. Both are around 60 I believe.

After you speak with Jules you can make .44 SWC ( Semi-Wad Cutters) ammunition. If it isn't showing up for you at a reloading bench you may not be high enough repair or survival skill.

If you use the .44 you would definitely want this recipe as you can breakdown the .44 regular ammo and make the SWC for just a couple more lead and powder with increased stopping power.

This seems to be correct, however it is likely you also need the Hand Loader perk in addition to this. It should appear in your list without high enough repair, so this is not the reason why it does not show up.
Ugh, now I gotta get my survival up to 50 (and the last 10 with a magazine). I have been using my weak old .357 because the .44 didnt have a hand load

I had the same issue with the .44 hand load recipe. Passed the speech checks with Jules and the message pops up saying that I learned the recipe. Several levels later I took the hand loader perk and still nothing.

I never found Jules, but I did get the hand loader perk which should have unlocked the .44 SWC recipe just the same. It's still not showing up at the reloading bench. Whether my repair skill is high enough should only determine whether the recipe is highlighted..
