I got the New Dimension 44 magnum dies I ordered, intitial impression was that the expander die is a bit cheesy with what appears to be an expander that does not come out (didnt read the destructions yet) I sized 10 cases, the sizer works well, the bullet seater die will need modified to work with .432 boolits. I ended up using a 45 colt boolit seater die just to assemble a few rounds

"make Old Betsy Roar" loads of 24.0 of Lilgun behind a .432 beagled/quenched WW 429421 lubed with Javalina semmed to hover around 6" at 60 yards, I have a steel plate 30" dia x 1/2" thick I use for backstop, it kept knocking it over hehe. 24.5 grains of LilGun is supposed to be good for 1586 from a 10" bbled pistol/revolver.
