Scrounger,

No, I have not measured them myself. I simply took the caster at his word that has sized them to .429". All I know about his casting process is the BHN of his lead (16) and the...

Well, I haven't slugged the bore just yet, but I did the next best thing. I took a few .430" diameter 240 grain Hornady soft-swaged SWCs and pushed them through each chamber of my Super Blackhawk. ...

454PB,

You're right. I need to slug the bore. Of course, hearing that your SBH was a bit large makes me even more concerned. Now, please don't tell me that your SBH was a "liberty" model.

Ricochet,

That's good to know. I guess when I use Bullseye or Blue Dot I'll stick with my CCI 300s. I have plenty of WW296 and H110 that I can light with the WLPs, but what about maximum loads...

Runfiverun,

Neither Alliant nor Speer lists magnum primers with their 44 Magnum loads for 2400 powder, so I imagine that you are getting some sort of pressure increase from your magnum primers. ...

Thanks for the search tip. I tried looking at each thread subject, but that takes a good long time. Maybe I'll save the rest of my 44 Mag questions until I have done some more...

Runfiverun,

When you load up 240 grain SWCs and 18-19 grains of 2400, what primer do you use?

HeavyMetal,

I'm glad to know that I am not the only one with a mess of .429" cast boolits. For a while I thought that I might have made a big mistake. Your recommendation of 12 grains of Blue...

Does anyone have experience with .429" hard cast boolits in their 44 Magnum?

I have recently acquired 1,000 hard cast 240 grain SWC boolits that are .429" in diameter. The fellow who cast them...

In 38 Special my lightest revolver load for hard cast lead is 3.3 grains of Bullseye and 148 grain DEWCs.

For something really heavy (which I do not recommend), I use 5 grains of Bullseye and...

Good Morning Everyone,

My name is Dave and I'm one of those guys who lurked around here for quite a while. I have been handloading cast boolits since 1976, but I have not yet done any casting...
