OK, This is going to be a weird question. I thought I would ask the inmates of the high road for advice..
I am going to purchase a new hand cannon. Recently, we have had run ins with bears in No. California.... Yes, a bear ripped apart a couple of ice chests in a camp ground right next to ours. But here is the catch.. I usually camp off the back of my motorcycle. Therefore, I am in the market for a new magnum caliber revolver. I want it to have a four inch or shorter barel in stainless. It will be either a S&W or a Ruger (I am not starting a S&W vs Ruger debate).
I like the loads of the .454 Casull. Yet I know the .44 is much more common. I have also noticed the .44 mag dies can also reload .44 special. Can the .454 Casull dies load .45 colt..? I was thinking the cases may be justa touch too long to adapt to the .45 Colt. So, do I have to buy both .454 and .45 Colt dies?
Does anyone have any experience loading both.? What are your thoughts. In all reality, I am going to shoot 99.9% plinking with the gun. Thanks for any help in advance. This reloading forum is really a great place that has helped me greatly.
