Rules are no shot larger than #4 shot. You really should look for# 7-1/2 or# 8 shot. Pg.27 of Shooters Handbook

Hornady Cowboy Dies are available again at MidwayUSA. They are, in my opinion, the easiest to set up and not crush 44-40 cases while seating and crimping lead bullets with one die. Note: if loading .430 diameter lead bullets in the 44-40, swap out the case mouth expander with one made for 44 Magnum.

Mine also showed light primer strikes on the misfires. I learned to open and close the shotgun and then it would fire, but the misfires were very random. 2-3 times per shoot. That's 10-15 seconds in a match for me.

Nope, Do you need some?

I had a similar problem (only on one side) that took months to figure out. I even had a major SASS gunsmith work on it at an EOT shoot. I tried: Deep cleaning, New firing pins, Extended pins, New springs, Reliving wood that the hammers could be dragging on, swapped the firing pins from side to side. The solution: I swapped the firing pin retainers from side to side and the misfire followed the retaining nuts. I replaced both of the nuts and the problem has not recurred for the last 4 years.

I've been good. Absolutely come on down to the Valley and bring Lou de Chris along with ya. It'd be good to see you two.

Citristrip spray it down, wrap it in plastic and let it sit overnight. I tried the harshest chemical stripper I could find and it didn't touch it. Then tried the Citristrip.

Probably 27 to 31 monthly's, 3 three day shoots and 4 state shoots. So roughly 38 shoots.

Nice!!

I'll be wanting to have a look at that at the Pass pilgrim.

I did this for a couple years. I used press mounted to a formica sink cutout clamped to the kitchen table. Of course it wasn't the volume of reloading I do now.

Gotta wait a month for the check to clear.

I ordered from them Feb. 24th with no issues. (Oops... Jan.24) I'm excited to try the hollow base .38's in my pocket pistol.
