[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 652887, member: 25383"] what will happen first is the hinge pin will get loose in the bores. Then your headed for trouble after that. A 30 Herret shooting 150 grain bullets and a full load of 2015 will eat the hinge pin up in about 250 rounds with pretty stiff loads. Most guys that shoot IHMSA go thru a hinge pin bore twice a year with just about all the 30 calibers and bigger. The 44 mag and 445 supermag seem to be easier on the pins for some odd reason, and I shoot some seriously stiff 250 grain hunting loads (1750fps with a 12" barrel and H110) The supermag is a 14" custom reamed barrel, and I really don't see a lot more velocity out of it. Perhaps with 300 grain bullets, but not 250 grain bullets. The best round for the G2 frame is a .444 case necked down and shortened a little bit to 30 caliber. Avoid the 430 JDJ! You can shorten the case about .125" and get the same velocty as the .430. gary [/QUOTE]
