240 gr. bullet at 1200 fps is not a top-end .44 Magnum load, but it is the sort of load I prefer. Much more pleasant to shoot than pedal-to-the-metal full loads, but with plenty of power to do almost anything sensible you'd care to do with a handgun. I am sure the long barrel and porting would make powerhouse loads manageable, if not quite as pleasant.
first time ever today shot a 44 mag
first time ever today shot a 44 mag.update
Went to the range today and my brothers freind just bought a taurus 44 mag 8 3/8" barrel not the raging bull model but the other one . was shooting this load http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=287702
literally had no recoil at all dont know if this is a mild load or porting works that good . But im in love in 44 now forget a 357 . i seen someone about 2 hrs later show up with a 4" barrel 357 and they were having a hard time . i dont think that load was to accurate but i put 2 shots on a 2' tall cardboard box at 100 yards 18" apart . maybe a faster load would be more accurate . What other loads are similar to this . i figure heavy more powerful loads will kick similar to my dads 40 s&w . that thing walks and its a heavy *** hi-point
