I love this gun, but life priorities are changing and I'm not likely to find time to enjoy it as much as I used to.

I got my Lee Loader for the 44, and took the 5 rounds I've test shot so far and did the magic voodoo on them. Made a custom powder measure out of a 7.5x55 piece of brass (because that was the 1st...
