Cast Sweet boolits and is Brass
Most notable probably 429421 to my thinking.

429421 and 429667. [and maybe the LEE 310 G/C, I guess,.. or a 45 colt]
if you need anything else you don't really have a 44 special/mag, you have a 44-40 and it only requires one mold.
Lee 310 gas checked...... Might be getting ride of my other .44 molds, its that Good
make mine 429215...works for me

429421 springs to mind.
Any flavor of the big 300gr+ WFNs are also worthy.
Ray Thompson 429215 or 429244.

I'd like to get a .44 down the road and have my molds picked out. RCBS 44-250-K (that I got from the forum) and the Lee 310-FNGC. I'd love to get a PB version of the Lee 310gr.
Those are the only boolits I plan on ever needing for a .44. Maybe a TC if I ever get a Marlin 1894.

Here's my favorites by nominal weight class: 200g--Lee 44-200RNFP or Saeco 446-A; 215 to 220g--Lyman 429215;225g to 235g--429421HP4C(mould from Hell);250-255g--MP-431-256HP; 265-270g--429640HP or Ranch Dog 44-265; 295-312g--Lyman 429650 or MP-433-300HP or solid.
It's all chicken, even the beak!
H&G 503 Keith & LBT 250gn WFN are the ones I use. There are at least 6 others.
429421 and uh, really that is it. You can try the Gordon Boser mold, the Ray Thompson molds, or the Lee 310. Get a RF if you shoot a lever but I could easily live with Elmer's creation as my only design.
