RE: 44 mag loads
[8D] Check out Garrett Ammo, Cor-Bon, and Buffalo Bore Bullets for the heavy hitters in .44 Mag.
Out of a Marlin rifle here are the stats.
Bullet and Muzzle velocity
Cor-Bon 260 gr. Bonded Core----1854
Cor-Bon 300 gr. JSP---------------1543
Buffalo Bore 300 gr. JSP----------1596
Buffalo Bore 305 gr. LBT----------1631
Garrett 310 gr. Kieth--------------1511
Cor-Bon 320 gr. Hard Cast-------1479
Garrett 330 gr. Hammerhead-----1599
I carry Garrett 330 gr. Hammerheads in my Ruger Super Read Hawk. They are to long for all but the Red Hawk and the Super Red Hawk. .44 Mag rifles must be modified to handle the Garrett 330 gr.. It thumps bears hard for a pertection round. I would use the JSP from Cor-bon or Buffalo for hunting for maximum shock.
What do think? Enough gun and bullet?
