Yes cast by me. Lyman 429244 with Gas Checks.
The old 429421 plane base (245 grain) works just fine too, and at the velocity I get with 8 gr of unique no gas check is needed. I used the 429244 a lot in the Specials because I have a 4 cavity mold and in the old days gas checks were REALLY cheap and over 1/2 of them went through my 44 magnums loaded hot, so I did all the bullets the same way. But today I would use the plane base bullet, cast hard and lubed with LBT Soft in my 44 specials. I don't load anything hotter for my 44 Specials because I see no need to. If I want more I have some 44 mags and a 454 Casull. I use 8 grains with a 245 or 250 in my 44 specials and nothing else. This load in a 44 Spl will do about 98% of all the things anyone would ever call on a revolver to do.
