Jasper Leadspreader Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I have been away for a few years and wanting to get back in. I went to reload some 44 colts and am sticking cases in my 44 mag sizing die. Used to reload my 44 colts on it all the time in the past. What say you?

Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Are the cases pulling out of the shellplate, and if so using the right one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Flimshaw Sass# 73310 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Carbide die works even better with case lube. Necessary, no, better yes I have same setup, never sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imis Twohofon,SASS # 46646 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Case lube helps, polish the powder funnel/lip expander. Double check all applicable tools etc. New brass needing case lip deburr inside/outside? Love Blue Imis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much easier on the brass and your shoulder. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Seems like the 44 colt needs a slightly smaller shellholder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
