    What happened to the hat?
    Reading can provide limited education because only shooting provides YOUR answers as you tie everything together for THAT gun. The better the gun, the less you have to know / do & the more flexibility you have to achieve success.

    You have a mould for THE 44 magnum boolit. I have MMA10MM's modified version in a LEE group buy mould and the aluminum MIHEC copy of 429421/H&G503 AND the brass MIHEC is somewhere in transit.

    I shoot a lot of these in 5.5 inch barrel 44 VAQUEROS, sized to .431; 50/50 lube from LARS; anywhere from 5.5 to 7.5 of TITEGROUP or HP38...currently 6.5 of TITEGROUP. Find a lower end load for the S&W for general use and something hotter for really serious usage...the gun and your wrists will last a lot longer!
