Apparently I need a 44 Magnum

Found this youtube channel after the post in the " what did you reload today" thread using lead fishing weights in a buckshot load.

They try some really cool stuff.

awesome!

...and of course you need a .44 magnum!

Why hasn't OP posted pics of his new .44magnum?

OP is a slacker.

DAMN...

On paper the .40 S&W case is .424, a bit narrow. But I'm sure you could probably expand it out .005. Or I think fired cases are probably already more than wide enough and he just figured out how to size them to .429. I'm sure it wouldn't be too big a deal to make a die to size fired cases and put the taper on it.

Very clever.

Colt is coming out with the Anaconda...

I'll stick with my cast bullets.

OP is going to post a pic of his new .44 Magnum any time now.

No thanks. That “bullet” wouldn’t obturate worth a damn.

I did notice there was no mention of accuracy.

Not sure about obturation. One would think that a .40 case obturates to the chamber when fired at .40 pressures. Off hand I would expect a full power .44 load would do it. Maybe.

Does seem like an easier solution.

 

[Moonpie]

you can't load cast bullets up to jacketed bullet pressures right?

Of course you can.

How well it works and leads up your gun is a different story.

I can get about 1200 FPS with my cast bullets (Lyman's 429-421) in my Super Blackhawk. Enough velocity for my needs.

I was thinking that someone might put a tungsten rod in the primer flash hole to see how that penetrates on steel.

How about “do” instead of “due”?

Don't get too excited.....it's not likely to be a Glock.
