    I love 2400 and Unique but due to them being MIA I've started with W296. At least I managed to find a few pounds of it.

    44 mag CB loads with W296

    Alloy hardness question

    Now for my next possibly goofy question of the day. I'm currently casting for a 45 ACP 200 swc, 230 TC and a 44 mag 429421 swc and a Lee gas checked 240 swc. The 45's are range loads and the 44's are...

    Enyaw, from what I have read, a .431 bore is common for a 44 mag RIFLE, but a revolver is .429-.430.

    Oversize Lubrisizer dies

    I keep reading about guys on here that are sizing their 44's to .432, ,433 and even a few .434. The largest one I have seen (and own) is a .431. Where are the bigger ones coming from?

    As has already been said, a Keith boolit at 1000 fps will do all you need it to do. Plus they are a LOT easier on the hands/wrists than the howitzer rounds.
