Hard to beat the Lee 200 gr. RF. I have one that casts at .430". Sorry, not for sale but Lee sells them cheap!
Thanks, got one today.
Have you slugged the barrel of that 44wcf? If it's a Uberti, it is probably at .427 as that is the correct dimension for the caliber. I've been shooting the caliber since the 60's and the best accuraccy has been with my redesign of the 427098 Lyman mold. Accurate Molds makes them and the mold has Fairshake by it on his website. I size them to .429 and my lead is BHN 12
