In SA with heavy bullets the accuracy is great. I've at times been able to replicate that kind of accuracy with the same heavy bullets in DA. So my accuracy with heavier bullets in DA is overall good. With the lighter bullets...I can't match the accuracy I can get with them in SA while...

Yeah, I've loaded the lighter bullets to the same velocity I use for the heavier ones...so it's all the same there. When I'm shooting the 200's I feel like I'm doing everything I do with the heavier bullets...and even when I rather carefully shoot a 200 grain bullet it still tends to end up...

I use a 629 5". I've used 200, 240, and 250 grain bullets for .44 specials. Right now I use AA #5 as the powder and I load velocities of 800-900. Consistently though I always tend to be a lot more accurate with the heavier bullets in DA than the 200's...even at 21 ft. the 200's tend to be...

Interesting find...do you remember what brand, or from what store/seller that you bought those 220 gr. truncated cast leads from?

I was asked by someone as to what are the cheapest 230 grain .45 bullets for semiautomatics that are available. I've been looking around some here and there in certain places, but I was wondering if anyone had any finds they could share? Thanks. ;)

I've used the Rainier copper plated and the Berry copper plated bullets for this application and I was wondering if anyone had any other bullets they like to use for such target .44 magnums, that is in my case, a 240 grain bullet having an 1100 velocity. Thanks. ;)

Concerning the 240 Gold Dot, according to Speer the minimum velocity required for expansion is 950. While the 200gr was designed especially for the Special and to expand at moderate velocities, I got the impression the design of the 240 leaned more towards the magnum. This is opposed to...

Some interesting replies....:) I'll have to get some 200gr flat points and experiment with them going at 1000velocity. I recall doing the same thing a time ago with 240 gr SWC's (my typical practice bullet), and I found it unsatisfactory in double action for the pursued purpose. Perhaps...

Which do you think is the better bullet in .44 Special for defense against the two-legged variety of threats...the 200 grain Gold Dot, or the 250 grain Keith style bullet? This would be firing from a full size revolver, and the velocity would be in the 860 to 900 ft./sec range or so. Am...

I'm curious, to use a full size (N frame) S&W revolver as an example, what would be the limits of replacing the rebound spring before you'd probably have problems? I know the factory standard is I believe 18 lbs., and I presently use a 15 lbs. rebound spring. How low can one go before it...

I've personally found 6.8 grains of AA#5 for a 240 grain LSWC to be a good and accurate loading.

Hmm...I'll check into the XTP's.... I also wonder if my purposes in terms of the desired velocity and the idea of expasion in a 240 grainer at such a velocity would be served well at all by the SWC HP that Hornady also makes in 240 grain.

Hmm...well then, you wouldn't be able to use the Supermag caliber of course...as there are no factory rounds for the .445 caliber, I believe. It all has to be handloaded. I'm not sure if you are interested at all in the .445 caliber itself. Which would mean the Supermag would just become a...

Hi there...does anyone know of any .44 caliber 240 grain hollowpoint bullets that will open up at velocities of like 850 to 900? I contacted Speer about their Gold Dot and they told me theirs will open up at about 950 or so. So I'm just wondering if anyone else might have some handy info...

Hiya...these days I normally use Accurate Arms #5 or #7 for my .44 magnums...but in perusing my Lee's manual I also saw one can use #2 as well. Can anyone tell me their experiences with this combination, if they've used it? Thanks much.

I had read somewhere that one could mimic the .357 magnum with a .44 special...made me curious. Exactly how would you do this data wise, if anyone might know? I use like 200 and 240 grain bullets for my .44 specials, btw. Thanks. ;)
