[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 2153841, member: 711"] Most reloading manuals offer loads specifically for .44 mag rifles. These are stouter than pistol loads. I strongly recommend you get a manual and that you do not depend on any internet source (including me) for loads. The Lyman 49th edition reloading handbook has a bunch of good loads, with a separate section for rifles and very strong handguns. You will need to crimp these loads. Lee's Carbide Factory Crimp Die will assure a uniform crimp and will also assure that every round will feed. They appear to be out of stock at Lee, but you can probably find one at some dealer. This is what they look like: [url]http://leeprecision.com/carbide-factory-crimp-die-44sp44ma.html[/url] I use this in loading for my Redhawks, and have never encountered a problem with feeding or with bullet movement from recoil, Some of my reloads are pretty stout. And speaking of that, it would be a good idea to see what you can find regarding maximum (factory) loads recommended by Henry. I strongly suspect that they, like most gunmakers, rule out reloads, but you can duplicate factory max recommended loads to stay on the safe side. [/QUOTE]
