%$%#%#@ 44 Special... Custom OM Rugers, NM FTs, S&W M69, Ruger GP100... I think I'll buy a Dillon SDB to dedicate to loading 44 Special..  |

I have nine 44 Special revolvers. I could understand that.

I finally gave up and converted my Dillon 650 to .44 Special.

It's the most loaded round here too.

Took a long time to get through my thick skull that the 44 Special truly is, special. My most loaded revolver cartridge also.

I have five .44 Special revolvers and to make matters worse, I have a range at my house!! So my turret press has .44 Special dies in it that haven't been removed in probably 5 years. I cast 429421 258 gr. SWC's in batches of 300, buy LP primers by the case, never have less than 3 lbs. of Unique AND 3 lbs. of AL20/28 (My two favorites for said caliber) and am sure that any day now my old 4 3/4" Uberti .44 Special is going to simply fall apart from the few thousand rounds I've put through her.

Have a baker dozen(maybe more) of the 44 Specials. It's a disease, but I like it.

I think I'll buy a Dillon SDB to dedicate to loading 44 Special.. This is the correct thing for you to do. I once purchased a 4" S&W 44 Mag. & the very first thing I did was order a SDB. I had only one load I used in the gun so when walking past the bench I might load a 100 or just a few. It was set up & all components at hand so there was nothing to do but load. Eight years later I sold the sixgun but still have the Dillon. The last couple years it is set up the same way only now in 45 ACP for my Blackhawk. Go for it.. |

nearly every .44 I've ever loaded has been on my dads SDB. sure makes things easy!

I use a Dillon 550 and swap tool heads between 44 Special and 44 Magnum. Pretty simple even for me!

So, what do you have against S&W M24s and 624s? They don't rate a mention?
Just pulling your chain!

I thought someone would post a few pictures. Mr. John Taffin to the rescue! What a veritable treasure trove of fine 44 Spl sixguns! Single Actions:        . |
