I would use the 250's without a doubt...but, there is an alternative that I have not explored yet myself. Speer makes a 270 grain .430 Gold Dot with the old soft point nose. that could be an awesome bullet also if your gun will shoot a 44 cal bullet well and most will. BUT, at this point I would be using the 250's - wait to you see the expanse of the hollow point on that bullet... when it fills up with tissue and fluid it can help but to expand.

The sabots that come packaged with TC bullets now-a-days should be a MMP HPH-24, so the "crush rib would definitely be slimmer, but also remember MMP makes a slim version also - HPH-3p-EZ load.

Here is a pic of some expanded Gold Dots that I tortued by shooting them into a water saturated clay (dirt)water bar @ 100 yards with 100 grains of T7..
