.44 Magnum is a fantastic round. The horsepower and the impact energy never fails to get my attention. It is magnificent.

Hey, thank you for your continued efforts in testing and for your work in putting these videos together. Your labors are not insignificant! I've certainly not seen all of them but from what I've seen you have attempted and succeeded in providing us with some good data. That said, I did watch this one and I must strongly suggest you find a new Music Supervisor.

Hahaha...


Keep up the good work.

Would love to see the Buffalo Bore "anti personnel" load tested. PM me for a free box if you'd be down.

Would have liked to see the results from a carbine...

Bullet appeared to hold together quite well. Excellent expansion and penetration. Would love to see what this does in a 444.

Pleased to see Double Tap ammo performing as spec'ed. The DT site has that round leaving a 6" barrel at 1255 ft/s.

'chopinbloc', another thanks for your reports.
