Accurate Loading Guide #1 shows 28.4 grs gives 1404 f.p.s. starting load 31.5 grs. max.gives 1595 f.p.s. hope this helps.

How DUMB can I get ,I forgot to include it.It's Accurate Arms # 1680 .Have you ever shot one of these ? I have one in the Thompson Contender 10 " barrel.I don't shoot mine with out gloves it has a pretty good belt.Don't forget you can also use .44 Mags. &.44 spls.in the same gun . Good Luck.

Been shooting a 445 Super Mag for years. Awsome round. Also using the Hornady 300 gr. XTP. Friend reloads mine, as he is heavily into handgun reloading, and loves it.
ATF's right about 44 Spl/44 Mags. Just remember to clean cylinder, or breech if single shot as it they will 'ring/deposit' residue from the shorter case. Makes loading a 445 more difficult, and raises pressures

Happy Bullet Holes!

ATF, Thanks for getting back to me. I am shooting a Dan Wesson in 445 Super Mag. It packs quite a punch but is very expensive unless you handload. I will try your load out. Thanks again.
