The 45 Colt and the 30/06 are both similar for me. I can usually get ok accuracy from them, but it takes a lot of work, whereas getting good accuracy from either a 308 or a 44 Mag is about as easy as...

Dallas area 23 degrees. Way too cold to suit me. Since I retired a few years ago I only own shorts and sandals.
Have fun with this strff.

I had a Blackhawk with the 4 5/8 inch barrel back in the mid 60's for about a decade. I settled on a load of around 10 grains of Herco for most of my shooting with a 240 grain boolit from a Lee...
I have been kinda looking for a 44 Special for decades, but each time I have started looking around the shops for a used one I have stumbled on to another old model Super Blackhawk that still looks...
You will get a lot of advice about loading for the 44 Mag. I have been loading for it since the mid-70's and find it pretty easy to load for. I have probably shot more loads of about 9 or 10 grains...
Back in the 70's I got into black powder shooting pretty heavy. I just bought round ball molds for all my rifles and pistols made by RCBS. Those never gave me any problems. All the molds by Lyman...

Try loading a couple of boxes of 44 mag mouse fart loads... It may take a few weeks to get that grin off his face.

I find that 9 year olds work better if they get to shoot the 44 Magnum.

Anything by Elmore Leonard. We lost him last month and I have not read all of his books, but I have read 45 of them. He could be the best crime fiction writer of them all.

I have an old Bianchi Askins Avenger that has served me well for a few decades now.
Have fun with this stuff.

Have fun with this stuff.

I have had my Glock 20 since the early 90's. I hated the trigger at first. I got used to it after a couple of thousand rounds. Since then I added a Glock 27 then 21 then 24. I have put nite sights on...

I have two or three one pound coffee cans full of spent large pistol primers that I have saved. I figure one of these days I will get around to assembling a blunderbuss kit. I think it would be a...

I have had lots of Lee molds since the 70,s. Some I liked some I did not. Since I discovered this site I have bought few molds that were not group buy molds and have been spoiled by the quality of...

For the past four decades I find that most of my problems in reloading have been fixed with very careful die adjustment. When I think I have that nailed down I smoke a case and chamber it to see what...

I had those same thoughts a few years ago...then I discovered the custom mold makers and about a dozen molds later ...,well you know how it goes. It has been a couple of years since I added the last...

Like you I started with 2400 in the 41 mag back in the mid 60"s. I also shoot a lot of it in 44 mags also. I have used up a lot of Herco in my 41 and 44's thru the years. You might also want to try...
I have a box of Glocks, but there are only 4 in the box now. I do count the Model 24 as one gun thou it now has a 357 Sig barrel and a 9mm barrel as well. I need to pick up a model 30 and a model 29...
I have been meaning to get a 44 special handgun for several decades now. Each time I almost buy one, another old model near new Super Blackhawk becomes available at a good price and I get that one...

Both of the 45 old model convertables I had wore the 4 5/8 inch barrels. I also had a Blackhawk in 41 Mag with the 4 5/8 inch barrel. I like that length a lot. I even had one of my Old Model Super...

I have been very happy with my Dodge with the Hemi engine for over a decade now. Gives more milage than my 74 Ford F150 did but this one has POWER.
Have fun with this stuff.

I stole a load of 4 grains of Red Dot from Pet Loads and I have been using it with a 125 grain Lee round nose mold for a few decades now. I have seldom used anything else in the 9mm for the last...

I am just a rank beginner in the 44 mold collection compared to Blammer as I only have about a dozen. For the past several years most of mine have been cast in either the MiHec 503, the pointy mold...

Try some and see how they work. We worry too much about some of this stuff. If you can hit a beer can at the range you most often shoot, you can still have an lot of fun with them.
