the Speer 200 gr. Gold Dot short bbl at 1,050 fps seems to be a good round on paper (and ballistic gel) for a general purpose 44 magnum. no, not for middle of the night home defense or grizzly bear battling.... but for the rural or semi-rural person who might have need to defend against a human attacker or black bear/mountain lion....
it gives another 200 fps more than a 44 special without seeming harsh to shoot.
what say you? anyone here have real world experience with this round? I've listened to all the hearsay I care to for now.
