    What does a person do with short .44 mag brass? My first thought is .44 Spcl...would that be the use?
    I serve Jesus exclusively...do you?

    TinHorn, the Hornady .44 Mag cases are short to permit loading their FTX bullets and not exceed max C.O.L.
    They are still significantly longer than .44 Spl., but slightly shorter than standard .44 Mag cases.
    I subtract .5 grs from my standard propellant charges when loading them.
