If you are interested in getting a conical, heeled bullet in .44 here is your chance. Noe needs 10 people to commit before pulling the trigger on the mold.

the link takes you to what appears to be another forum, until you mentioned the website, i stopped there. Now I clicked on the ad "visit our store"
and now after the fact I see it is a "store" and clicking on the various bullet calibers I see prices.
But to me that wasn't obvious in the OP.
But still Aluminum is aluminum. Much softer than Steel. so over time it will deform much easier. But I guess it would depend on how many bullets you realistically expect to cast.
When I was casting the 195 and 190's regularly I would do an average of a 1000 at a time. As I was selling quite a few of them. But health issues have made me slow down now.
As I stated, I stopped the 195's. And have stayed with just the 190's
Loading off the gun is quite acceptable, many do it, I have.
But you should be able to reload on the gun especially in the field.
Too that the much larger bullets just really can't be, unless one does modify the frame. And I have done that too.
I personally will stick with the smaller and lighter one.
Any game / varmits I would care to hunt with a BP percussion revolver the 190 is more than adequate if I do my part. But unless I was starving. I would not be hunting big game with it.
But as I said, to each his own on that.
