I've misplaced just about everything; wallet, car keys (found 'em in the fridge), glasses, jacket, and even my truck once. But a gun? Nog nooit. Never. But I am glad you found yours.
I'd like to try a recipe for 44 magnum for my rifle. It calls for a #429215 cast lead bullet propelled by 9 grains of Titegroup. But I'm having trouble finding a supply of 429215 bullets. Titegroup is also scarce but still obtainable. Anyone know of a source for these specific lead cast bullets?
I believe I will. But for the current batch I’m putting a heavier crimp on the bullet. Just to eliminate that as a possibility. Then I load some with 6.8 g. (7.2 is max).
I just ran some 44 mag rounds through my Rossi 92 lever gun. I used a 165 lead round nose projectile powered by 6.5 grains of Universal. It generates 10,350 psi. This is from the latest edition of the Lee Precision loading manual. Here's the problem. The cases are exceedingly blackened after...

Russian creative high points: Ballet, the field hospital, corrective eye surgery, air ionization, the Khalaznikov. Low points: Communism, Russian Roulette, and this knife/gun combo mishigas.
I found this data set in Lee's Modern Reloading Second Edition. A 165 grain lead RNFP bullet motivated by 6.5 grains of Universal powder in a 44 Remington Magnum case. I'm going to use it in a Rossi 92 chambered for 44 mag; the rifle weighs a little less than 6 pounds. Unless my math is bad...
