As I mentioned a while back here on the forum......I’m trying to get back into casting and shooting more. I had taken about a 30 hiatus from any serious casting, hand loading, and shooting.....other than shooting the CC handguns.
About 2 years ago, I started casting and doing load development for my 460 S&W. With my discovering the benefits of powder coating cast bullets.....I decided to get more serious with the other handguns and a few rifles. The first step toward a bit more precision, was to get new sizing dies after “slugging” the bores on the firearms to be used. My first gun to work with, was my S&W 629 - 44 Mag.
I was stunned at how small these cartridges were, as compared to the 460’s I’ve been working with the last 2 years! I can remember when I got my first 44 Mag some 40 years ago......I thought it was a small cannon. Wow, “how times have changed”! 😁 memtb
