Oddly enough, the 44Mag would be easy enough if it weren't for the bore. Walt and I have discussed it a few times but with the bore already .452" it's easier to stay with 45C /45acp. So, a close tolerance platform that won't beat itself up is the best setup.

The '60 may be a "super shooter" with a light bullet in the 24K/25K psi range for a max but there's plenty of room for some heavyweight bullets with less pressure too so there's lots of possibilities for the belt gun!!

The Dragoon though is a really nice platform as well for a hunting revolver and has the same ability to throw some nice sized trash cans down range or lighter weight, flat flying long range zippers!! Probably in the 26/27K range . . . maybe more . . . we'll just have to see.W

Who needs a 44 Mag case, your 45 Colt case will handle 30 K with no problem. It's the arbor that won't handle the strain.
