Kind of a toss up between it and 19.3, I sure that one straggler in the 19.4 was operator error. :lol:
But that's about all I can do without a scope.

Thanks for the kind words.

I just did some measuring and found that...that bullet seated to 1.635 in the Magnum case has the same powder space as seated to
1.620 in a .44 Special case when seated to the crimp groove!
Interesting!

I don't have any special brass all mine are magnum.
I will be trying some more of those two.
Your right though Al, with either of those should work easily.

Dang Randy, do believe you have a load or two for that .44 now. That is some fine shooting right there. WTG!

Looks like we might see a Forty range report with some of the 250's in his 44.
