Loading the 445 Super Mag
« on: August 23, 2005, 06:35:16 AM »
Got to thinking about reloading for the 445 SM when I get it done.

I can't find reloading dies list from RCBS, Lee, Redding ... can I use my .44 mag dies?

I suppose I could neck size (would rather FL size) and use the same seater die as the .44 mag.

Any ideas?
:D

ditto, The only 44 cal I have is a 444 so I need dies & am ordering this weekend . From what I here I think you can use your 44mag dies to resize same diameter case just longer.  Is there a separate crimp die for this cal or do you use the seat die for the 44mag with its crimp??

OK guys let us know
That's my boy, GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

Lyman makes a crimp die for the 44 and 445...

Complete die sets are available, but spendy!! I think I'd just use the 44mag dies and get the crimp die separately if you wanta crimp em..

You could probably pick up a spare 44 mag. sizer die and use it on the loaded round for a taper crimp die.

I think I'm gonna have to buy the sizer die and just seat and crimp with a .44 mag die.

I think you guys are worrying over nothing. I can full lenght resize mine with my RCBS 44 mag dies and crimp them also. So just use the dies you have and all the money you're worried about spending,just send it to me and I'll worry over it for awhile. :-D  :D
