Only due to the issue of there are more factory loads available.

After Mom passed away, I sold the home and moved across the country for a year. I wanted to be as unencumbered by "stuff" as possible. I did have a mini reloading kit so to speak but the big presses were all sold off.

Now that I have a place in central Maine I plan to get back into reloading.

I find that there is more variety in components for the 44 vs the 45.

Another issue is that I still use the TC Contender. I know there are some +P loads for the 45 Colt that would not be healthy for the gun. I would hate to have a mix up.

Ok, not to start a ruckus. But .44 Mag or .45 Colt? - WB, 2025-05-21, 10:46
