Reforming .44 Special Cases?

[edit]

If the solid part of the case head is .017" larger for the .44 Special as Wikipedia tells me, then I think it would be almost impossible for most people to reform .44 Special brass into .44 American brass. Aside from the great force required, normal resizing dies are not designed to size all the way back to the rim, and doing so in a specially made die would cause the primer pocket to become smaller if it was not supported by a close-fitting mandrel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.213.20.170 (talk) 23:23, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]


So is it blackpowder? The article isn't clear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.9.182.3 (talk) 03:05, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
