what I use |
| 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. |

Some good reading on the subject from Randy Garrett of Garrett Cartridges.
http://www.garrettcartridges.com/defensive.html And his 44 Magnum ammo comments http://www.garrettcartridges.com/garrett44mag.html |
I've tried to see things from the liberal point of view ... but I'm just not flexible enough to get my head up my ass.

I don't cast, but I do reload. Hard to find stuff like this local.
