Two historical if not very classic loads, finally had the time to make them. I was on the road for business for quit some time and had nearly no time to be active with reloading, shooting, hunting and be here on 2A for a while (sorry guys....... but I did not abandon ya all).
Plus I had both my Freedom Arms revolvers back form repair last week, both firing pins broke. The the guns were send back to the USA where S&W USA repaired them. Freedom Arms did not even took the effort to help me out........ they pissed me of big time.
I had repaired them my self at first but the steel I had/used was to soft/weak. But S&W USA took up the challenge and did the job brilliantly thanks to S&W Netherlands/Europe who did all the paperwork and shipment. 
The loads I made:
A. The .44S&W Special with the Mr. Himmelwright bullet design from early 1900's and one of the very first "target" bullets designed . See Mr. Fryxell his book about it (made originally for the .44 Russian)
B. The .44S&W Special with the E. Keith 250gr bullet (Alliant/Hercules 2400 powder) one of the real classic's ever in my opinion.
The .44Mag is there for comparison
Can't wait to try these out. I made 25 of them each for testing next week.
