445 Super Mag

What kind of accuracy are you folks getting from your 44 mags that you rechambered to 445 SM?

Same barrel, before and after, the 44mag was shot with the 225gr LE factory ammo and a peep sight, 445 after the rechamber with 265gr FTX handloads w/H110.

Load has everything to do with it.   Using 1680 I'm usually getting clover-leafs to ragged holes at 25yrds.  Haven't had the chance to test it at longer distance.  An additional note would be I have shot several standard mags and lead 44 specials in it.  Other than the normal change of POI it hasn't changed the accuracy of those rounds either.
