I’ve started revisiting the 44SPL again: always wanted to have/use a target pistol in 44SPL. I’ve always owned 44MAGS (29’s & blackhawks) or charter arms bulldogs. I got a 624 last year & finely have taken the time to start to reload for it this year.
I wanted to try to reload with some of the older Lyman molds, but it’s hard to find them. I finely ran across a 429348, it’s a double end wad cutter. One end is a plain base & the other is for gas checks. I just got started with casting & loading test loads for that bullet/pistol combo. It didn’t take long to get a good load with that bullet using the plain base end on top of the powder.
I ran across a Lyman 429360 4 cavity mold & haven’t cast anything bullets yet. I was planning on trying to make some light plinking loads with this bullet.
I’ve also been considering buying a gas check maker for the 44’s. I think it would be an excellent addition to any 44SPL/44MAG reloads.
Any ideas, thought, suggestions, experiences, ECT, would be greatly appreciated. Especially with a gas check maker & the 429360 mold.
