41GNR #2
I know it is made from a necked down 445SM case. Does it take wildcat dies or does it use normaly availible dies to create? Lone Hunter

Redding makes the dies in their "Custom" line, i am not sure if you can purchase them direct or not. They are available from Gary Reeder for about $100. http://www.reedercustomguns.com/index.html

No Prob!!

Are you purchasing a barrel or having one built?? I am currently having Mike Sirois build me a 414SM, next one is gonna be a 41GNR#2! [Big Grin]

Mike. Have not made up my mind yet. Was going to have my 10" 44 Mag barrel rechambered to 445SM but I checked two places and they would not do it. So looking for other options. By the time I buy a used barrel and pay to have it rechambered I would be in the range of some custom barrels.
What is a 414SM? Lone Hunter

LH,
I wonder why they wouldn't rechamber it to 445SM. I would think that VVCG,SSK or even TC would do that job. It's offered by TC for the contender in there list of calibers.

The 414 Super Mag shares the case length of the 357 Max and 445SM. [Big Grin]

Jules, one said it is hard to get a good clean chamber going from 44 mag to 445SM. Other said cases and load data varied alot and could cause problems. Lone Hunter

Who does a 41/445 barrel or rechamber besides Reeder? I think the cartridge has a lot of merit.
