Freedom Arms 44 Special/44 Magnum

Post by kerdunk »

Has anyone shot 44 Special out of their FA 44 Mag? FA does not list a dual-cylinder option for 44 Special/44 Mag, so I am curious if anyone has experience with this alternative.

Or, has anyone purchased a 44 Special cylinder from FA to fit their 44 Mag? Perhaps this offering is just not listed on their website.

Yes Will is the guy. I'll tell you what I know. He shoots a LBT cast boolit with a lot of the wight in the front of it. So it won't fit in his chambers with magnum brass. So he uses Special. it fills the entire chamber. As to actual load I have no Idea.
