Just picked up a new one, never fired, at LGS part of an estate. Anyone have a line on some 44-40 dies? thanks

Congratulations of your new 544. They are great fun to shoot!! Love the 5 inch barrel. I bought Redding Competition Pro Series dies (number 581888) from MidwayUSA. I found the seating die was way too tight for seating the .428 lead bullets. I called Redding and they advised to send the die back and they would open it up. I did, but in the mean time, I used a .44 Mag seating die. I never got around to using the Redding seating die as the .44 Mag one worked fine.
There is a long 544 thread on here somewhere, that covers about anything to do with the 544, so I won't repeat it here. I had sticky extraction on mine and finally got tired of it and took it to the local gunsmith to polish. I have not got it back yet! I have 500 rounds loaded and ready to shoot. Can't wait
