RE: best bullet for 44 mag.
I'm with the 00 buckshot, but than again I don't mess around with handguns to much. If an unwanted guest enters the house all my family members have to do is point and shoot. When nerves are on edge I figure it to be the best option for folks who don't shoot often.
Sad we even have to discuss home defense, but it is a crazy world these days. Police Blotter mentioned an armed group (2-3 people) knocked on the door of a house a few streets away. Guy slammed the door on them and I guess they just left. Homeowner was pretty lucky...
