I have a .44 SBH, 5.5” bbl, Pachmayr grips. It is my favorite revolver....maybe my favorite pistol.
The grips do not grab the skin on my hand..
I load my own ammo for it. Some years ago, a friend of mine passed away...he loved the .44 magnum amd loaded his own ammo. His widow gave his “stuff” to me. There was a lot of stuff....l have not had to buy .429 bullets in the last decade. Mostly 240 grainers, they make up my standard load. I am partial to Alliant 2400 as opposed to the ubiquitous W296/H110.
Have fun with the new gun.

PS: about dies...fwiw....i have die sets from every manufacturer that i know of. The .44 dies in my Dillon 550B are Lee dies. I do not find them any less useful or effective than any other die set.
