I rather doubt that the red powder is ferritic for this particular case.

The most accurate 44Mag load I have ever shot is the Hornady LE 225gr FTX factory load; this does honest 1" 5-shot groups at 100 yds from my Ruger 77/44 (1:20" twist rate).
Also less than a...

My 336-44 has always functioned perfectly, and is the most accurate lever action I have ever worked with. My buddy sold his for $1500 a year or two ago, FWIW.

The minor diameter for that threading is 0.456" per the Surefire threading spec;
With a 0.358" bore that leaves ~0.049" wall thickness by my calculation not 0.025" ??
I concur on 1/2"x28 being...
The only pre-lock S&W's I've ever sold, were the lesser two of /four/ S&W M64-5's I was fortunate enough to have done a lot purchase of.

Having used a fair bit of the Big45 product, I would recommend it over other methods.
At the risk of going on a limb here, I'm going to label the 0000 steel wool method as obsolete, and here's...

Am curious who are saying it's too thin ?
Edit: I am wondering if this is a poorly-phrased iteration of 'insufficient OD' ?
"Too thin" reads to me as 'wall thickness', not OD ...

and don't forget to complain that some of your targets "weren't going down 'last weekend'";
that way the others will stick with their less-accurate Minimags, lol. ;-)

With regards to Trail Boss:
In that most of the powders we do get are derived from military applications, my suspicion is that the CBI surplus powder offered as recently as last year:...

Red Dot is the poor mans' Trailboss IMO. ;-)
Wow Berdan-primed Hornady 25ACP; good to know to keep an eye out for.
Thinking that practice went away with the arrival of the Bean Counters;
I've never seen Speer Grand Slams come with one extra. ;-)
Here they are, in case anybody is interested; despite one review, they looks like a decent bet to me, for $15.

Posting just to make note of round-holding tweezers; I did not know of these, and when I am back on my main computer, I will shop for them. Thank you,

To break to a more positive note; who wouldn't get a smile from this ?
That right there is a subsonic, sub-MOA (@ 50 yds) load; note the seating depth. :-D

Slugged the barrel; determined an optimum torque for the action screws. One jacketed load and at least two different cast boolits. Three different powders.

I have a magazine article from the 60's, where the author (machinist really) converted an M1 Carbine to shoot 32-20; crazy stuff for sure. I have the PDF if anybody wants it.

My experience was that they shot well; developed a few different loads that did 0.4" to 0.5" at 50 yds (5-shot groups) - one of those loads was the wonky 230gr wadcutter, which even fed from the mag....

Back in the late 1990's (when manufacturers at least faked showing an interest in their customers), I actually wrote to Winchester asking why they continued using a 1:38 twist for their...

Interesting for you to mention that; we have seen at least one instance where a factory load didn't have a flash hole (& certainly didn't fire). As handloaders, we have the potential to make more...

Wait, what ? :-)
My best use of it would probably be as an excuse for missing; 'I had the wrong choke for all three shots'. ;-)
Honestly my skin crawls when I think about what one of those broken bands would feel like on the face.
Thanks, but I'll stick with safer activities - like loading Blue Dot in .308Win.
