Didn'tcatchmany and lefeye, welcome home to you as well.
.44's are easy to load for, most any bullet weight if the slug is a good one, will shoot to perfection. Keith's venerable 240-250 gr LSWC's at 0.430" dia. are always a good...hell, a GREAT choice. Penetration, a good wound channel, easy loading... and superb accuracy, what's not to like. Unique, Herco, Win 231 will all give 1000-1100 fps loads, and tight clusters from the 25 yd line. 4227, 2400, Acc#9 all have their uses for real barn burners. Magnum or Special, you can't find a more accurate revolver than a Smith .44....
BTW, I'm coming up on 72 in a few months...but with good glasses, and the sun behind me the guns still have the address to get things done.
Best Regards, Rod
