I will also add I use H110, my gun is a super redhawk so it allows for hotter loads, and allows to to seat the bullet out longer.

Hard Cast, Flat Nose. Buffalo bore, corbon are good for buying premade ammo. I handload my own 300 gr for heavy 44s, for my airweight S&W 329 pd I handload a Flat Nose, Kiethed, gas check 265 gr. It is loaded to just below pressure signs.

320 gr hand loads (casted myself) over some H110.
Will take down most issues that I run into. |

While I don't mess with puny .44 mags (hey they are really not quite .43's), just kidding don't over react. I do use Buffalo Bore .45 Colt +p in my Blackhawk. No bear yet, but they do an amazing amount of damage to a coyote with a Texas heart shot.
