[QUOTE="Cold Trigger Finger, post: 969742, member: 56732"] The stoutest 44 mag ammo I have shot is the Buffalo Bore 340 gr +P+ . . Absolutely NOT Reccomended for Taurus, Smith +Wesson ect. But it shoots fine in the Rugers. Like I say I have never loaded 44 mag that hot. But being factory ammo I used it in my Super Blackhawks. I use a Lee factory crimp die on my revolver loads so I don't worry as much about getting eaten by a brown bear. That particular 44 mag load moves the 44 up into the 454 category as it has a wider meplate than many .452 hard cast and turned bullets. Its even a bit wider than the 360 gr TruShot. 452 WFNGC bullet which I pushed out of my Blackhawk 4 5/8" @1100 fps with 23 gr of H110. As I remember. The 335 gr WFNGC Cast Performance bullet @1150-1200 seemed a better fit in my 45 s all around tho but they still had a smaller meplate than that 340 gr 430 Buffalo Bore bullet. . I wished I could have found the maker of them. . IMO , if the toughness, meplate, velocity and sectional density of a handgun bullet is what translates into killing power That 44 bullet will kill as well and as fast as any 45 bullet. [/QUOTE]
