Reloading .44 Mag

[Joker]

Can I use .45 caliber .452 diamater in 300 grain xtp to reload .44 mag?

In a word, NO. .44 Mag uses a .429 bullet. It's going to do really interesting things as it squeezes dowm.

 

[Tigerstripe]

no. 44 bullets are .430.

.429 or .430?

.429 or .430?

Both
Most store bought bullets for 44mag are .429.
My cast bullets are .430

If using cast lead, you could size them down, right?

 

[Tigerstripe]

when they go through a luber they get sized. did you mold some?

i was looking at a box of jacketed bullets, .430.

45 can be ,451, .452.

A while back I bought some of the .452 thinking I can load them up for my .45 but they were 300grain. Then I found out its too heavy for it so they sat around. I recently bought a .44 mag so I was hoping I can load those rounds for the .44

Thanks for the input guys.

Sounds like bullets for the 45Colt instead of 44 Mag. Depending on your location I may have some projectiles that would work for you.

So much for that idea......if you're ever in the Charleston area let me know.

.452 are for 45 colt. 300 gr are heavy but are used in the colt. Especially the contender.
