Swapped for a minty 444S micro-groove, and won't have time to wait for dies in the mail before deer season opens. Can I get by in a pinch with .44 Magnum dies?

I don't see why not. You would be partially sizing the cases which is OK. For many of the operations you could devise some kind of a stop so 444 dimensions would be achieved.


You learn something new everyday whether you want to or not.

Why not just use the Hornady factory load this year and then re-load for next year with the proper dies?

Hornady makes some real good ammo, just a thought....
