44 S&W American



I have an H&R bulldog in this cal that I would like to try out.

I had a look at buffaloarms and they sell brass and bullets for it.
But it looks like it would be real hard to find a cheap sell of dies for this cal.

What do you know about this cal?

Starpuss, I don't think Buffalo is going to send you any bullets or brass to Canada, ITAR BS. The bullet mould might be your best bet.

when did they change it? i made a order 2 months ago.

It's a recent change, that I heard from a friend who had his order rejected. As it was not my direct experience don't take my word for it, I would give them a call to verify.
