What is the Max Overal length of loaded round that will reliably feed in a Puma .44 mag? I just have the gun - no ammo yet to check, so any of you that shoot .44 in the puma please let me know what fits in your gun.

Have a Puma 92 44mag and my 280 gr LBT mold seated to the crimp groove measores 1.678 to 1.68 and that is as long as will cycle. it very close at that.

Better slug the bore on that gun before spending a bunch on a mold or you may be disappointed , mine slugs at .433 ,had to have a mold made to order from LBT that drops at .435 and I size at .434

I've fired Ultramax .44mag cowboy ammo and several varietys of 240gr jacketed commercial ammo, plus some .44 special semi-wadcutter reloads that I thought might be too short..but worked fine.
