Nothing bad to say about that gun and it shoots a very good round too. Giving me the itch for a shorty 44.

Good Luck and Good Shooting

That's very nice 8)  I hope you're not going to make THAT stock green and yeller. I'll trade you an old beat up one you can paint ;D  I'm getting the itch to cut a 44 barrel but mine have sights and I hate to cut one of them. I should sell one and get one without sights to cut. That is sure a nice potent toy you got there. How does it feel on the shoulder when you shoot it?

John,
So that's what we're working with on the shot loads!  That's a great looking piece and would appear to be a real "hoot to shoot."  Until I get back to the tinkerin' I will send you a few samples I bought to load over about 9 gr. of Unique....let me know what you think if they work.  I know you said you would wait, but I would like to know if these are worth spending any more time on. ???

Are you guys talking about using the Speer shot capsules? If not what? I loaded the 44 shot caps with various sizes of shot and used to shoot mice when mowing my field with a Smith 629. Great fun but I bet the neighbors thought/knew I was nuts ;D  I'd stand up on it while mowing and they would come out in the open and I got pretty many but it wasn't very efficient at much distance. I bought a couple more boxes of the empty capsules before they lowered the count and raised the price. Tried them in my 44 mag Handi and wasn't impressed. Wonder how a wad and over shot card would work :-\  What are you using?

lots more room for powder and/or shot with tha SM.
our first test was at 10yrds which is cottonmouth dispatch distance :o
and it patterend quite well @ 14" diameter witha few wild ones
10yrds from tha tractor platform will take rattlers and cotton's without fail 8)
secret is in tha shot formula........... ;)

I figured you'd have more room just curious about your results with the capsules. You can only get so much shot in them and I'm thinking when I get a SM chamber I will try a wad and card set up. The cap. went through the target like a bullet which is OK i guess but I wonder if there is room for improvement in the pattern? With a rifled barrel verses any choke it may not make a diff. Glad it is working for you as I had a blast with the shot out of a pistol. I went to a buddys house and he was mowing and a bird flew by and I shot it out of the air, should have seen the look on his face ;D  He thought I was a good shot with a 44 mag pistol ;D  I shouldn't told him it had shot in it ;D ;D

I bought some (discontinued years ago) 44 mag. TC capsules off internet.  They are too long to load in a standard 44 Mag. case......they are 2 inches long.  :o   Even if loaded in a 445 SM case, they still stick out like a seated bullet.  Haven't got to shoot any yet to see if they pattern.  Went to a friend's ranch this past weekend but it was too hot even for rattlers to be out . (105 degrees )  Not to mention, we took everything we needed except the AMMO!!!   :-[ :'(   Didn't fire a shot, did a little maintenance and went back home same day!  I am working on rolling my own to shoot in my 44 mag. but using the 445 SM brass.  The loaded Speer's are nearly $2 a round here.... after tax is added.

My most fun tractor gun is a H&R .22 mag pistol with CCI rat shot.What a blast to shoot those mouses at short range when mowing! As for long guns, we always strap a scabbard in the best place(its on the ROPS on my K3830)and fill it with whatever we fancy.
