I've shot a lot of their 45-70, it's all I take to Alaska, and the 310gr-330gr .44 Recoil? Fn yes! 3 shots and it's break time. :o

I have run some heavy loads through my 41, but not on a regular basis. I just don't think the guns are built to handle that sort of punishment for very long.

Taurus also lists recommended ammo specs in their manuals. For a 44 Mag they recommend a 240gr bullet at 1350 FPS. I found that info here http://www.taurususa.com/pdf/revolver-manual.pdf (http://www.taurususa.com/pdf/revolver-manual.pdf)
