| New guy needs help
Hi Just joined. I need some help. I used to reload a Speer 240gr SJ-SWC for my 44mag ahead of around 14.5 gr of Bluedot. I started looking around for these to do some reloading and can't find them anywhere. They were my favorite round for this pistola. Anybody suggest a source? I scanned this pic out of my Speer #11 Reloading Manual  |

looks a lot like all they make now are just lead SWC's, which I would think are ok since they should be much much cheaper. T |

I think there is hope.... I found two references to that slug. The first one is out of a pdf file that I found on the net. It has a picture of the round and calls it a "4447". It's the upper color part of this picture. The other is out of my Speer Reloading Manual Number 13. It makes reference to the 4447 round but does not have a picture of it anywhere in the book that I can find.  Now if I can find a store with enough stock to have it. Probably I should call Speer tomorrow too.  |

Speer says they were discontinued 1 to 1-1/2 years ago. Bummer |

That would be sweet I did find 6 rounds that I had loaded last time. So I have a cylinder full. I can't believe I didn't buy up a bunch |

I did find some at a store in New Zealand and they'd be happy to sell them to me but the shipping costs would equal the costs of the bullets. $70 us for shipping I used to buy stuff from a guy in New Zealand and was always surprised at how cheap he could ship me 60 pound boxes. |
