Pards, I very recently purchased a Ruger Redhawk in 44 Mag for fun shooting and I will not be loading to full power. I have a Lee 429-200-RNFP mold. To start I plan to use up my Hodgdon 800-X powder. The Hodgdon website says 5.2 to 5.9 grains for a 200 grain RNFP bullet and a OAL of 1.570" Question -- When I crimp at the top of crimp grove my measured OAL is 1.560" and if I seat my bullet at the beginning of the crimp grove the OAL will be 1.570". Is that worth doing? Question -- My Lyman 4th book has a recipes using a saeco # 420 200 grain swc using 13.4 to 14.8 grains of 800-X powder. I understand that a swc is a different bullet shape than a rnfp but the charge weight is more than double? Question -- Hodgdon lists the pressure for 5.9 grains at 10,500 cup, that's pretty low, is it safe to start low, work up in small increments and go above 5.9 grains? Thanks Chestnut

I left a note on the mail box yesterday, to let my postman know he will be delivering three heavy flat-rate boxes the next day. My order of 44-200 LRNFP, BHN=9, HiTek from Ringer's Bullets is arriving today. I figure if the current CA lead ban bill is passed, then CA will ban shipment of lead bullets into CA. Might was well stock up. I figure lead bullets might become as scarce as toilet paper is today, at my local Walmart.

Idle curiosity: does anybody have experience with the Uberti 1873 in 44 mag? The only downside I see right away is the 9+1 capacity, rather than a full 10 in the magazine tube. Winchester/Miroku made their Trails End Octagon in 44 mag, everything I wanted.. except 1894 action, but that model is out of production now.

I see Uberti is offering a 1873 Rifle in 44 mag with a 19" round barrel. Questions 1. I thought this action was to weak for a powerful round ? 2. Will a 19" hold 10 44mags ? 3. Has any one seen the insides are they the same ? 4 Any one have or shot one ? I just happen to be a 44 guy and Im intrested in this rifle . Thank you .
