Bronko is right about the case lube. Toss that crap from RCBS and use spray or better yet the spray BOTTLE instant lube. That syrupy lube is from the dark ages of reloading. The RCBS shell holder is #4. A carbide sizing die would be nice. I think you can buy this die seperate from someone and save some money. The case trimmer is useless to you and will never be used.

Stick with 2400 powder and I'd suggest you start with 19 - 21 grainsof 2400. At any rate 2400 is much more versatile powder. Frankly, I would order 500 cast 215 gr SWC bullets for the gun. About all you get with 240 grs is extra recoil, lower velocity and poor trajectory. Everyone loads the 44 like they expect to find a grizzly bear crawling in their bedroom window. Silliness. The 215 gr bullet will more than do everything you'll ever need to do with this pistol. Trust me.
