First, Gary thanks for posting this data. I picked up a TC Custom Shop 445 bbl from Rick that you put a brake on. I have heard I need a 445 specific sizer die but can do the rest of the reloading with 44 Mag dies. Is that info correct?

But there is only 1/10" difference in the cases. I don't see any foreseeable problems if you use the 44 mag dies. Nate used Hornady 44 Mag dies when he reloaded for his 445.

I bought Redding 445 SuperMag Dies years ago at a Gun Show for $20. Finally cleaned them up this week. They were still packed in factory grease.

I probably will add a Lee Powder Thru Die just because it makes life easy.

as needed, I use Hornady dies for everything.

So, I suppose they are cut deep enough too. I believe the 375 SuperMag is the only tapered one of the group.

Box ammo of all kinds of brands. I shot them for accuracy and chronied them. Each brand was tested and the Ruger 44 Carbine was cleaned every time.
Wolf had one out at the time and it did a scorching 1515 FPS.
It was inaccurate as hell and dirty. They had that sucker screaming in the .445 SM realm.

Dies for 445 question

I am not sure. I have used 445 dies since day one

Do you stock 445 Dies?

You can (and I do) use 44M dies, just adjust

sometimes, but most people use 44 mag dies

Not Gary, but sure some 44 Magnum dies will work...

Huey is dead on, I use my 44M dies adjusted

Lyman list their dies as 44 Spec, 44 Mag and 445 SuperMag...

Thanks, that's great info to compare with what I have...

I once bought a bunch of 44 mag
