Hope Im not breaking the rules. Ran across this deal deal on 44 Russian ammo and its cheaper than buying new brass. I am in no way connected to the seller. Best I recall buying new 44 Russian brass a few years ago cost me over 35 bucks for 100 pieces. Several years ago I got burned buying once fired 44 Russian brass and it turned out to be trimmed mag and special.
A bit off subject. I ground the bottom of an old Herters 44 mag seating die in order to get cartridge in deep enough to get a decent crimp. With mild loaded home cast slugs. The bullet backed out without a slight crimp. I was shooting my father in laws old Colt revolver. I'm guessing but I believe I used 3.0 hrs of Bullseye but can't recall weight of slug as I have several 44 molds. My best guess it wasn't a 240 gr bullet. Chances are good the lead was pure or near pure.
