Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds 44 Mag and Special shooters!

I have something you might enjoy.

.44 Russian Hard Cast Truncated Cone Ammunition.

Velocity from a 5" is 785 FPS.

A little background:

Prior to the .44 Mag we had the .44 Special. Prior to the Special we had the .44 Russian.

The Russian is a Super Cool little cartridge! Starline makes the brass, and it is all essentially the same, (Mag, Special and Russian) they simply cut to the appropriate length. The .44 Russian case is approximately the same length as a .45 ACP case. Yes it chambers/fits perfectly fine in all .44 Special and Magnum revolvers.





Here is a 185 grain .44 Russian next to a 185 grain .45 ACP to give you a comparison:





A while back I did some development using 185 grain full wadcutters in Russian cases and a 5" S&W M29. It ended up being the single most accurate .44 caliber load I have ever developed, with sub 1" loads @ 25 yards being the norm:




Recoil is less than that of a standard .45 ACP which is to be expected, since its a 185 grain bullet, at 785 FPS as compared to your typical .45 ACP (230 at 800)

Groups at 25 yards are quite respectable. I grabbed my Redhawk, which is not quite as accurate as my M29 and they produced very nice groups in very informal testing. I did not do any serious testing as I have tested this load before and knew it was a tack driver.



So for guys who want to enjoy their big bore revolvers without the big blast, this is a great load.




Price includes shipping and insurance.

It is $105 for 100 rounds to your door, which after S&I works out to about $40 per box of 50.

They will come packaged in either 50 or 100 round hard side plastic ammo containers for their protection and for your later use.


* No, I don't sell them in boxes of 20. The shipping (not to mention packaging) is so costly that it makes no sense to do so .





Shipping goes UPS Ground insured. You have to be 21 since it is handgun ammo. Will only ship to places where legal and it is your responsibility to know your local laws. No shipping to restricted states or jurisdictions.

Post the amount you want followed with a PM, so I can keep track please.

I have 900 rounds of this available as of today.

I’ll take 200 of these.

Those look like a helluva lot of fun.

I'll take 100. Thanks.

200 for Bama

and 100 for Diamon Jim

You Gentlemen got it!

Will there be any issues switching back and forth from Mag to Russian?

Nope.

I do it frequently.

Really no different than shooting .38s and .357s

Gentlemen these little rounds are a hoot to shoot. If you want to smile every time you pull the trigger, better get some.

Thanks Critter,

They really are quite pleasant. They make shooting a big N Frame extremely enjoyable.

Looking forward to trying them in my 3" and 4" S &W 624s!

A 4" 624 is one seriously NICE all around handgun!

I'll take 200 rounds.....

Tag for later

I’ll take 300. PM incoming.

All these are Sold .
Thank you gentlemen

Friends!

I have exactly 1,000 more of these packaged and ready to go as of this morning.

Here is a pic of the .44 Russian next to a .45 ACP:

FUN little things!





Please respond with the amount you would like, followed by a PM.

All the regular instructions are in the original ad.

Thanks guys.

I'll take 200 rounds. Thanks

You got it.

800 rounds left!

Mackay, do you have a website or some way to see what loads you offer in all calibers? Can we order any time or just during the current runs (whichever loading that happens to be)?

Thanks

Ed

Ed,

I have been in the process of putting up the company's website for a couple of months. I literally just need about 5 hours worth of time to sit down and update things and then send it to the web developer and launch the thing. That said, trying to get caught up on special runs/various projects keeps getting in the way. Soon though, I expect I will launch the thing and you will be able to order by card.

This next week I expect I will have the time to sit down and do the updates. It is way way past due!
