I'm seriously thinking about starting with the 44WCF round. I've heard some good things about it. However, it can be technical to reload, yes?

.44 WCF is a learning experience. Original 44-40 were sized to .427 and used a heeled bullet. Modern 44-40 uses a .429 bullet. However most reloading dies still size to .427. The 44-40 case neck is very thin and trying to stuff a .430 bullet into one sized to .427 results in a crushed case. RCBS makes a cowboy set that sizes to .429 or you can use a .44 mag expander plug. I use a .427 set and use a wad punch to flare the case mouth a little more.
