I have reloaded my ammo for years can not remember buying a new box until this week . I shoot 44 Mag and cast bullets and I shoot a lot . I have been a reloader for over 50 years and in that time I have learned some things . Last week I bought a new box of 44 Mag 240 Jacketed the brand makes little difference . The reason is I hear new ammo is better reloads not so much .
What got me to this point was a hand gun built by Mag-Na-Port a Ruger Super Blackhawk cut down to 4.5/8 and made into a Predator Package .
Now it is a sweet Revolver but it has some problems . The Cylinder and Forcing Cone are just to tight plus the end shake is zero . After shooting lead bullets for some time the Cylinder gets hot then the forcing cone gap goes from .003 to zero . With end shake at zero things get very tight .
I called Mag-Na-Port and was told it is your reloads (high primers) . To this I say bull -CENSORED--CENSORED--CENSORED--CENSORED- . So I buy a new box of 50 rounds to test first thing I find is 4 bullets out of the box will not work . The Cylinder will not move to the Recoil Plate as the case head is to thick . Next the primers no two in the box are seated the same from -.001 to -.010 . So please tell me how good new ammo really is better .
