In a previous video I mentioned that I hadn't tried the NOE 412-220-SWC in the .41 Magnum Ruger Redhawk Hunter. It turns out that I had - during the initial range time with the revolver! I found this old footage from May 18, 2023. The poor camera angle that doesn't show the steel plate that I was shooting at is the reason this video wasn't originally used.

    I love watching all yours and others older 44 mag /special videos. I am new to it and Just got my 1st revolver after many years of semis. I love the videos explaining the history and of course Elmer's and Skeeter's role in it. It seems just about like any other cartridge to reload but I am always looking to see if there is anything I may have missed. Hope your well and making lots of good stuff!

    Before you go changing the hammer spring you should take a look at the sear angles. The millitary rifles ( and pistols) are rather famous for having a reverse cut sear surface ( almost like a half cock notch) be aware the the hammer is case hardened and will have to be re cased after any work is done.

    You can use an old fashioned trick if you want to use a cleaner/faster burning powder that takes up less volume, or to help ensure you get a more even burn when you loads leave a bit of empty space causing an uneven ignition. Use an old worn-out case and sharpen the rim. Use this to cut tissue circles with. Pour the powder into your cases and tap them to settle the powder. Use a wood dowel to carefully place the tissue circle over the powder. Then fill the remaining volume with cream of wheat. The tissue/wheat keeps the powder up against the primer face and ensures an even burn. CAUTION: You really have to start using the minimum listed load and slowly work your way up using this method because the cream of wheat does take up the air void and thus the combustion pressure is higher since there is no air to compress.

    this for the video. I recently found 2 788s in 30-30 and 44 magnum. I'm in the process of finishing the 30-30 I got last week. The previous owner broke the ejector so I'm the process of ordering a bunch of ejectors as these rifles share the same ejectors. I've had the 44 out and its a thumping tack driver. Very cool rifle. It'll be with me this fall during hunting season. Good luck with your work on yours.
