Don't know how I missed this thread... a while back, I bought what appeared to be an unfired 44 American Bulldog... I trimmed down 44 Special cases on my 1st test, & used a light load of Trailboss...
BTW... don't discount using soft lead round balls for guns like this
my gun...
& the reloading thread, in which I got a lot of info from forum members...
