Do it! I wanted to when I had a .44mag barrel but never got around to it. Now I'm going to turn my .357 mag into a max.

Yes! Do it! The .445 can be downloaded with the fast pistol powders (tightgroup has shown the best for me) to the .44 mag and .44 special for plinking and you can run full bore 445 loads for longrange target and hunting.

Ron, I was actually looking at the ammo on your sight last with my dad discussing the attributes of 445 and was wondering if you could tell me the speed of the 300 & 320 grn loads you offer?

Ron,

If you send me a box of each of these loads, I will chrono them and publish the velocity, sd, etc.   :P
