Pappy,
I'm shooting the original 44 Rem. loading of the 44 Colt, for original and modern Remington and Colt 44 Conversions.
This NOT the same as 44 Colt available from Black Hills or others, that round has a.430 drive band( I have about 400 of them and can't use them with this pistol)
This is a 44 Colt brass, 30 grns Bp pushing a 248 Grn X .451 Dia Drivebands, outside lubed RNFP with a .429 dia. heel with a crimp groove. This is, and was the original 44 Rem, 44 CF load for44 Colt and Remington Conversions. Remington discontinued this cartridge in 1895. Old Weat Moulds has re-introduced it
No sleeved bbl. This is very accurate.
Old West Moulds has the bullets by the box with 5.0 Grns Smokeless or the components, crimper, Moulds and luber/sizer, etc. Everything to set you up to load this cartridge.
