    PP in the .445SM Handi

    Last Saturday I rechambered my .44Mag Handi. No cases on hand so made some from 30/40 brass by making a length guide for a Lee trimmer and turning the rims down in my lathe to .512" to fit the recess. Just for grins I chose a load of 8.6gr TB pushing a Lyman 429244 that I converted to solid point. These are sized to .427 and patched with tracing paper to .432". The first target is the first 3 SM that I shot. The second one has four marked holes already there, the big hole is 9 shots from the .445. This is at 50yd, avg velocity is 1061. This is gonna be as much fun as my Max!!

    45 AUTO! Because having to shoot someone twice is just silly!
