I've had a couple of different barrels in the 445 chambering and now have an SSK carbine barrel that seems to shoot reasonably well (haven't really found any loads that are as accurate as a factory 14" hand-rechamber that I used to have).
I know that there must be a few guys out there who have shot this round in the past or are currently loading for it. I'm wondering whether anyone has had decent luck shooting regular 44 mag ammo in theirs?

I have a small amount of loaded 44 mag ammo and a ton of brass and bullets that I wouldn't mind loading up to keep on hand. I have a hundred or more rounds of good 445 brass to work with so no problem working up "real" loads but it would be pretty cool to be able to count on shooting both. I've read a few opinions pro and con here and there but does anyone have any specific experience with 44 mag brass in the 445 chamber?
