Hi Rick, I have worked up a few good loads for the 44 mag. I personally like Hornady's HP/XTP 240 gr bullets .430 dia using WW296 at 25 gr average 1650 fps note:Heavy crimp. This is a great Magnum powder or the Golddot 240 gr using ww296 at 25gr both these bullets have great expansion and penetration on Whitetail deer and black bear, also these loads are very accurate. Aim small hit small RAMbo.

I'm shooting a SuperRedHawk 44 mag 7 1/2 barrel. I hand trickle every load, and chrono everything I work a load up for.
These loads I worked up started from min load to max. looked for the best shooter, seems to be the hot loads for the 44 mag, I consider one inch groups good for hunting, this is at 50 yards, this is also a scoped handgun. I also tried shooting at 100 yards with a shooting stick and hit mark 5 out 6 times, for the most part I would not take a 100 yard shot with my superredhawk, but it can be achieved with a shooting stick or something to stabilize the handgun from wavering. When I chrono I look for very little variances in fps I allow 25 fps at most, If all is done right powder measuring/seating depth/crimping/ is all done the same, accuracy is impeccable, in tern tight groups. just my thoughts. aim small hit small. RAMbo.

I don't think shooting Jacketed bullets are bad and don't foul as much as lead, I think lead is much worse in my opinon, Copper is alot easer to clean than a fouled barrel full of lead Take out the stainless steal brush LOL,Just my thoughts. RAMbo.
