Dan Wesson 445 supermag

[britz]

I am looking for dies for this and any loading information that I can find for this cal. A friend has the gun and asked me to research loading for him to see if I would be willing to get set up for it. The only dies I found were on Midway backorder for $160.

Thanks for your help guys
Mark.

445 Supermag

I have had 3 Dan Wesson 445 Supermag revolvers. I actually wore the bbl. out of one. I settled on the 220gr. FPJ Sierra., WW296 powder, & I feel Fed 155 lg pistol primers are a must. I used standard 44 mag carbide dies with no problems. Today we have Lil'Gun powder which I would use if I were to use heavy bullets. My 445 Supermag days go back to when you had to provide proof of purchase of a pistol to get 50 pcs. of brass headstamped "445 Gates".
