A lot of folks predicted more shortages and government interference and decided to roll their own.

I made an error purchasing 44 magnum reloads at the gun show. The seller taper crimped them for use in a Desert Eagle instead of roll crimps required for use in a revolver. I didn't notice that until I fired the first round in a S&W 629. It fired fine, but all of the other cartridges unseated and jammed the cylinder. I was able to push them flush to get the cylinder open. I used a Lee Factory Crimp (roll crimp) for 44mag to fix the remaining cartridges. The unseated ones were unloaded. I just burned off the powder and replaced with a known volume of Win 296 (H110).
