44 mag

[Huntbear]

Another tip for target shooting, I wear fingerless weightlifter gloves.  They seem to help hang onto the gun, and help with recoil some.  When I am going to shoot a lot of the 300 grainers, I tape my wrists also.

Ive never had much recoil problems with the 44 mag but alot of the guys i shoot with seem to

Standard factory loads, are no problem.  However, my handloads, especially the 300 grainers hurt after about 10 rounds, but they sure knock the crap out of the game, so far.

I think when I first started shooting my 320 grain cast bullets I had a hard time. I figured out a good way to hold it and don't even think about it any more. It's like catching a baseball. Once I got it figured out the fun really started. I also like to shoot those light loads. With cast bullets you can shoot one hell of a lot of bullets for relatively cheap. I use the gas checked ones from leadheads.

I use Hardcast bullets from Oregon Lasercast.  In the .44 spl. loads, no need for a gas check.  Plus they shoot awesome, and the women can shoot them without the recoil of magnum loads

I've got two of them.  One is blued with a 4 5/8" barrel. The other one is the stainless Hunter in 7 1/2".  They are my two favorite pistols.  Have you ever shot one over 100 yds?  Its a kick in the ass when you hit your target that far away with an open sight revolver.  I load 300 gr xtp's. They are very accurate.

What powder do you use for the 300g XTP load?  I can’t get them to group.  The 240 XTPs shoot fine but my 300g loads fly high and mostly just fly.

19 grains of H110.  Seat the bullets on the first ring.  Make sure you measure them because they will fill the whole cylinder.
