[QUOTE="alank2, post: 1731182, member: 108"] Hi, While I've never loaded 444, I used to shoot one way back when. It is a straight case so it is easy to reload and you can use standard 44mag (.429) bullets for it. Right now wideners has 1K of 240gr jacketed solid points for $169 shipped. My Lee manual shows bullet weights from 200 to 300 grains and my Speer manual shows load data for 240 to 300 grains. If you are looking for real slow cowboy shooting type loads, go to gmdr.com and choose Oregon trail load data. They have developed loads with pistol powders for lead bullets. Just make sure if you use one of their loads that you don't double charge - a tiny amount of pistol powder in a large case like the 444 isn't easy to verify by sight. Good luck, Alan [/QUOTE]
