.44s

[J.B.]

Wow ! Talk about being late to the party. To answer your question Mike, I went with the 44 x 2 1/4" bottleneck. Got caught up in all the excitement of the cartridge and a few who were extolling its virtues ( Kurt & Don ) Have no regrets though and really enjoying it. I never purchased the RCBS mould as I'd heard from a few hereabouts that it was a little snug in the nose area and that why I corresponded with Tom at Acc. Moulds and we came up with the 446-400B and later the 447-480S. Both have been good performers and lend themselves to blow tubing.
Would have loved to play with the 44 x 2 5/8" but the new gun... plus setting up with brass etc would have broken me. I never said I wouldn't....just not yet !
