[QUOTE="GMB54, post: 5212946, member: 15365"] You will need a special sizing die to do a 44cal unless you can find bullets that fit the lands. A 44 has .429 grooves and .422 lands. So the only option i see is getting a full form die made and that requires about 1.5" of your barrel. 45/70 works because the lands are around .450-.452 at most. So you just use 45cal pistol bullets or one of the available .452 bullets and size them to fit the .450ish lands. [/QUOTE]
