As the header says.
Who's slugged their 44 and what did you get?
And what rifle was it?
Thank you

How will what other peoples rifles slugged at help you? Each gun is a law unto itself.

Not really - these aren't one off bbl's - I'm looking at maybe picking up a lever
and it would be nice if my moulds were at least close.
I can see the method of slugging give more variation than the bbl's themselves.

i have a 70's 1894 marlin that slugs .432, and a blackhawk 44 that slugs .430. but you need to check your's just to be sure.

I don't claim to have any real experience with this and am only repeating what I have read but the data listed above seems to support this. SAAMI specifies a larger bore/groove diameter for a 44mag rifle than it does for a 44mag revolver. Seems dumb to me since they're the same caliber but then again, nobody asked me before they made the rules.
