A fresh update on this thread seems to be in order. At the 2019 Campfire Hog Hunt down here in Texas, a number of fellers wanted to do some T&E on these here 45 Colt shotshells, so I brought a box of 'em out with me and we shot up some pattern targets, and one unsuspecting navel orange. The results were impressive to the assembled throng.

As it happens, bcolorado sent me some 445 Supermag cases a few years back and I just found them this morning while cleaning out some half-empty boxes of reloading stuff in my garage. This, and the recent acquisition of a couple of new .44 caliber revolvers, spurred me to break out the shotshell makings, and this afternoon I intend to whip up a batch of .44 Shotshells. I'll post some pics tonight or tomorrow if able. I still haven't figured out the new photo posting instructions since Rick updated the site security. Guess this is my opportunity to get with the program.
