.44 magnum

Hi all! I'm finishing up my loading sessions for my auto pistol cartridges this weekend and moving on to loading .357 and .44 magnum light/midrange target loads. I scored an 8lb keg of be86 and I love it for 9mm. I've been doing some research on our favorite forum and it looks like be86 will...

Anyone out there using cfe pistol for mid range loads for .44 and .357? I've tried 12gr cfe .44 mag under a 200gr xtp, cci 300, winchester 3x fired brass, 1.590 coal, SD 16, ES 51, avg 1265. Any experience with CFE loads for these calibers? Groups were ok at 10 yds, 2 inches offhand, probably me...

Hello all, I've posted a thread before concerning h110 and over pressure signs in a smith and wesson 629-6 44 magnum with a 4 inch barrel. My current load I've worked up is 23.5gr h110, 240gr xtp, cci 350 magnum primer, starline 2x fired brass, coal 1.5925, heavy crimp, SD 19, ES 68, AVG Vel...

I just clicked the button to buy an in-line .54-caliber rifle. I feel like you need to have one of just about every single type of gun if you want to be able to shoot anything sometimes. (I sure am glad I stockpiled .22LR after the big ammo shortage of 2008-2016 now!) But I had actually planned...

I tried something a little different. I was looking online and found a PDF of an old IMR reloading manual from 2003. Under .44 Mag Rifle, there was data listed for IMR 4895. The recipe called for 28 gr compressed under a 240 grain bullet with a WLP primer. This should generate around 1250 FPS...

While listening to the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, I heard him and his friends discussing bow hunting axis deer in Lanai. He said (paraphrasing) that the deer were often 2-6 feet away from the arrow by the time it got to them, even though he hit exactly where he was aiming, because they...

Hello, all. Has anyone found a lead-free .44 Magnum ammunition that will achieve pig-worthy accuracy and reliability in a lever gun, such as the Marlin 1894? I think the main concern is that copper bullets are less dense and therefore longer than lead bullets, so they might not feed reliably in...

I've been playing around with Missouri Bullet Co's .430" 240gr RNFP with an advertised BHN of 18. My hope was to put together a fun to shoot load similar to a .44 S&W special. I have tried 5 and 6 grains of TiteGroup with these bullets in a late 90's Ruger Vaquero and had terrible leading. I...

I haven't been shopping for wheel gun target ammo in a long time so I'm wondering if it's a continuation of the great ammo shortage begun ~Jan 2009. I'm looking for .357 and .44 WC or SWC but cannot find it. I don't like to pay to put JHPs through paper and I especially like the nice clean...
