    Federal’s Personal Defense HST 44 Magnum

    Well , it would default fill the ( mainstream ) void left by the discontinued Gold Dot Short Bbl .44 Mag load . If it improves or even matches that GD SB remains to be seen . ( Or Underwood. 44 Spl +P ) . Yeah , everything is stupid expensive these days . But $55 / 20 rds is mindlowing...

    True . And for Semiauto rounds , .45acp is simplist, most forgiving , and usable with wide range of powders . ( And huge historical knowledge of using all those powders .) That said - l currently have strong desire / need to load .40S&W, and .357 Sig .

    Lipsey’s Exclusive S&W Model 629 Mountain Gun

    Arrrg ! You had to tell me! :) ! I have to have one , but l'm trying to justify it when l have a 1980's M624 , and a .41 Mountain Gun . And the " Canadian Bbl Length" vs true 4 inch irks me . If l don't get the gun , l will have to get some of the licensed Deacon Deason ( Skelton) grips .

    Startup Cost for Handloading/Reloading

    I really wish l had bought a SDB a couple years ago . At 2025 prices , the the $729 MSRP isn't worth it , compared to a 550 . The niche for the SDB is for loading as singe caliber ( or a .most a second caliber using same basic set up , only changing dies ) . Using unique dies in the SDB ...
