44 mag carry guns

[Zombie Steve]

Full power mag loads aren't going to be fun to shoot in anything short of a 6" barrel IMHO. The nice thing is if you're reloading, you can make something in between special and full house mag loads that is useful, but doesn't kill on both ends. I like 7.8 grains of Unique and a cast 250 grain lswc. From my old 4" 629, I was getting 939 fps. Basically like a standard pressure .45 Colt if you want to look at it that way. For Colorado applications, anything hotter than that becomes an academic exercise of how far the slug will go into the mud after passing completely through the animal.

i have just over 300 pounds worth of 240gr LSWC's sitting under the bench as we'll as the cans of loaded ammo and then some buckets of lead in the garage. I have a few different powders I run in mag and special I think my specials are running 745 FPS for the plinkers and mags are right around 890, so not far off of yours. Then I have some 1010, 1170, and 1340 mag loads for range fun. The titegroup loads are my favorite, but I just love how versatile the 44 is.

And this is why I keep debating whether I should get one or not... I think it's one of the most versatile out there. So, who wants to give me one so I can see if I'm right?

Whenever the "If you could have only one handgun" threads come up, I always come back to one of my .44's.

Well, you can shoot mine if you'd like.
