I'm sure they will, and some 44's, and 45's, and, and,and.

Thats even better. I just ordered 2 one 4 inch and one 6 inch in 1/2 inch thick. Gonna use those at 50 yards. Which is typically where I shoot most of the time

This one will most likely see some long distance stuff also.
Have a portable stand so it will be easy to move about.
It's the one in the back yard, going to make a permanent one for the yard.

Going to use the rest of those fine .44 250 gr Elmer Keith bullets that Big Al sent me in .44 Special...the "Skeeter" type load.
I will try 8.2 gr. of Power Pistol which will give same velocity as 7.5 of Unique but still a bit lower on pressure than the Skeeter load.
This load is noted as a good load for speed and being accurate according to Brian Pearce writings.

These will be "specially" for my Ruger Flat Top Bisley .44 Special.

My older brother has a Model 1909 revolver that belonged to our grandfather. I loaded a box of 20 250 gr RNFP ..45 Colt over 9.5, 10.0, 10.3 and 10.5 gr of AA#5. I loaded 5 rounds with each weight of powder for him to try. It only took 1 hour. Not to bad for weighing each load with a beam scale and powder trickler.

500 more of those MB 180's on the way! Placed the order today and think these will be "go to bullet load" for my Henry BB.
Urging my buddy who also owns a Henry in .357 to give them a shot as he is just getting into reloading for .357
