I just ordered a new style brass magazine follower to help with the FTX ammo. Geez it wasn't easy getting a straight answer on which one is for the 444.

I even called Wild West Guns, because that's what Prophet River stocks, and they told me to order one for a 45/70. Which is not the right one.

I got a recommendation for a US company that makes them. I got my answer in minutes. And with shipping it was still cheaper than buying the wrong one locally.

I also purchased a single crimp die so I don't have to butcher my new RCBS dies when loading the FTX bullets.

There wasn't many left in Canada. So I'm glad I got one coming.

Now if my front site would decide to show up, I think I'll have everything I need.
