Despite never handling one, I'm very interested in the 3" version, and am seriously considering picking one up.
But as the .44 Special is more of a handloader's cartridge, I'm very curious as to what those who own it are loading up and what sort of results you're seeing. I'm pretty interested to know if anyone is running a steady diet of 900fps or so with a 240gr bullet. Or maybe even a little more? I know the various boutique ammo companies are claiming some impressive numbers, but I'd like to know what you guys are getting from your benches at home. And how the gun is taking it too.
And a little off topic for the reloading forum, but is anyone seeing issues with "thinner" forcing cone? I have read some concerns about it, but no tales of woe.
