I have not had a problem using the 44 cal GC for my 404 as they crimp and size easily in my .424 die. No need to anneal. The only problem I had was when I heat treated a 90% WW/ 10% lino bullet and found the heel to hard to crimp the GC on in the Lyman lubrisizer. I ended up using a .429Lee push through dis first then re sized in the .424 lubrisizer die for a trouble free and workable sizing operation.
