Would a .404 Jeffrey bulet be OK to load into a .44 mag. The Jeffry is .423 and the 44maf is .429. Only .006 diffrence. Any comments? | ||

sormi, .006 is actually alot. I am not sure you will get a good seal to the bore which would keep from building up pressure behind the bullet. I don't know if 6thousands is enough to cause a problem but, personally I would stick to the .429's Smedley ______________________ Smedley  ______________________ From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

I think smedley is right, the difference in diameter is too great. There is only 0.007" between the 270 and the 7mm as a comparision. The bullets would just rattle down the bore. ------------------------------------ The trouble with the Internet is that it's replacing masturbation as a leisure activity. ~Patrick Murray "Why shouldn`t truth be stranger then fiction?

Even if you could get enough neck tension from a case sized in a 44 magnum die it sounds like a poor use of a spendy bullet. | |||

My first thought is why?  A diff. of .006 is a lot. Accuracy & vel. would be poor, any bullet designed for the great .404j is going to be tougher than any bullet designed for the .44mag. If you've come across a bunch you want to use up, I'll trade you for .44mags.  LIFE IS NOT A SPECTATOR'S SPORT! | |||

Big bullets swage down into small bores without an increase in pressure concurrent with the powder burn pressure peak. Ackley did a good job of documenting how 8mm bullets in a 30-06 did not cause an increase in pressure. The important thing that Ackley did was to open the neck of the chamber. The no pressure increase requires that the bullet not be stuck in a tight neck that is pinching it. That can be more of a pressure spike than jamming a bullet into the lands, and we have all seen how that is equal to a few extra grains. What does it all mean? If the loaded round drops in the chamber and will fall back out, it will work. If the loaded round must be forced into the chamber and is hard to extract, look out. | |||

No, it would not be okay...If you expect any kind of accuracy or velocity. If you just wanna roll something down the bore of your .44 Mag, beat your brains out...  | |||
