Re: Loading some 44s
Thats a BIG hole! I was told years ago that a piece of newspaper between the nose of the mold when pouring will get expansion going on impact. Ive poured with paper but never tried them for expansion.

Is that from the Laurson(sp?) MP mould?
Re: Loading some 44s
Wow! Those look good. I don't think you will have any trouble with expansion.
I really like the 44 out if rifle.

Re: Loading some 44s
I actually didnt cast these. They were purchased from Maplewood Bullets. Brinell of 13 i believe.

Re: Loading some 44s
No expert. 13 Brinell sounds hard enough to handle .44 Mag velocity. I am not going to volunteer to be the test target. I like my .44 Mag semiauto Ruger.
