Just got a 445 and noticed the manual warns against shooting 44 mag. Is this a cya legal thing. I have plenty of 44 that I have already loaded for my 44vh. Is this really a problem?

Good question, saw same thing in manual, but check what they say at the CZ web site.

Like shooting a .38 in a 357; just make certain you watch the carbon buildup in the cylinder. Additionally, the accuracy may drop off a bit and if firing cast bullets, you may shave a bit of lead, depending on the bullet profile.

Thanks, that's what I thought, just wanted to hear it from you guys. Next question, I have 44 mag dies. I've read that I can back them out about a tenth of an inch or use a spacer. Do you agree?

As long as you have the thread room to unscrew your dies far enough, 44 dies will be fine. I've used a set of RCBS dies in a Forster co-ax for 44 special through 445SM.

My son loads all his .445 with .44 Mag dies.
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
