44 Special/Mag Die's

[Bull_frog]

I have a 44 Super RH and want to get some die's for my Lee loader, the only 4-die set they have is listed .44 Special/Mag. Will these work for reloading 44 Remington Mag? Thanks for the help.

yes they'll work fine.I have an early 80s set that were marked 44mag and a newer set for my 44 special only real functional difference is the seat die it won't crimp the specials.
the die bottems out first.

44 mag,and 44 Rem mag are the same thing,just said differently.the real nome of the cartridge is remington magnum I believe.

If they are like the RCBS dies, they will have a spacer ring for use when flaring the case mouth and seating the bullet.

.44 Spl. dies will reload .44 Mag.

.44 Mag dies will not load .44 Spl.

The same applies to .38 Spl. dies.
They will also load .357 Mag.
But .357 Mag dies will not load .38 Spl.

Nowdays, the die makers have gone to one common die set to load both.
In the old days, you bought the Spl. dies and used them on both.

Bullfrog, My die 'set' came as a 44mag carbide sizer (also suits 44spl),
44mag/44spl expander, and 44spl bullet seater(as it suits 44mag also).

Same deal with my 357mag/38spl die 'set'.

Thanks guys, I figured that was the way it worked, but wanted to make sure before I ordered them.
