44 Magnum, .429 or .430 sizer?
I am purchasing all my reloading tooling as the funds become available.
38 S&W, 9mm, 45acp, 45 colt and 45 Raptor, done.
7.63x39/54R, .308 and 30-06, done.
I intend to purchase a 44 caliber revolver with a 6" barrel and 44 lever rifle in the future, and in regards to gas checks, they offer sizer dies in both .429 and .430, and I'm unsure as to which to get and why.
Also as far a casting molds, LEE offers some that cast .429 and some in .430, and either size can be had with and without gas checks.
BTW, I also noticed I will have the same issue with the 38 spl/357 Magnum molds and sizers.
Here is the thing.
It seems obvious that
.429 sizer is for the .429 bullets/gas checks
and
.430 sizer is for the .430 bullets/gas checks
However
Do I assume
.429 for low pressure?
and
.430 for high pressure?
or
.429 for revolvers?
and
.430 for rifles?
but then I would also think.
no gas check for low pressure.
and
gas check for high pressure.
The gas checks are only offered for both diameters but only on the heavier bullets like the .429 @240 grains and the .430 @310 grains that I assume at such a heavy weight is only intended for rifles?
I thought I had a good grasp on all the basic aspects of reloading until I started researching the 44 and 38/357 caliber reloading tooling.
