44 mag/445 SM question?
« on: March 02, 2012, 12:32:55 PM »
Any you guys with the 445SM ever shoot 44 Mag cartridges in the longer chamber?  Is it like the 38spc/357mag/357Max were most of the Maxis will shoot the shorter cartridges fairly well?

Why be difficult, when with a little extra effort you can be impossible?

Tom, other than a different POI, there's no difference in accuracy in mine.  They both shoot well.  I haven't tried .44 special or Russian.  Mine's one of the older over-bored ones and likes .433 boolits.  However, LE's also shoot.
