    Default How many water balloons to stop a 44 magnum.

    Didn't see this posted here anywhere.

    Would have gone further with round nose or hard cast instead of a JHP.

    That was my first thought - they used a bullet designed to open up and have less penetration. I guarantee my mid range hardcast loads would go through more than 4.

    So it's a smith and Wesson so you know he isn't shooting full power 44 magnum loads. I would like to see a ruger super redhawk with full power 250-300gr cast loads on the balloon test.

    I have a Super Blackhawk and some factory 240 grain SJSP that will donate to the cause if someone will put together the rest of the package.

    Then we can try some .38 special and .357 magnum from my Winchester 94 Trapper.
