My general purpose 44 mag load for both revolvers and carbine uses a 240gr JHP.

 

[WrongHanded]

These.

Wide meplats. So round nose flat point I guess.

When first starting to cast, I fell into the SWC paradigm. I now prefer RNFP, but because I have to many moulds for SWC, that's what I shoot.

 

[Iwsbull]

Swc or wfn I don’t own any other molds.

 

[Airman Basic]

IME, the RNFPs feed more reliably in my rifles, especially the model 92s. They're about equally accurate, so that's what I shoot in handguns and long guns. But I also took a while to convince myself of this, and I still love my Keith molds, in honor of the master. What the heck, mold them all.

Swc's or wc's get used in the 44mags for 90+% of all my shooting needs.

Thanks

I use 240g JHP's also. I use my reloads in my Dan Wesson 744 and my Desert Eagle L5 so I need to use a jacketed bullet.

Hi...
My general purpose load for .44Mag is a commercial cast LSWC at 240gr with 10.0gr of Unique. It works quite well in my four .44Mag revolvers. Lately I have been buying them from Kings Shooter's Supply in King of Prussia Pa.
Only other .44Mag load I shoot is a near book maximum load of 2400 under a 240gr Hornady HP XTP.

240gr HiTek coated SWCs from MBC. Work well for plinking with Unique, and for full-on magnum loads with W296.

I purchased a box of JWC at a show a while back, I load them a little below max with 110 and all of my 44s shoot them well. The last show I went to I couldn't locate anymore I would like to try them in 357 also.

What is your "general purpose"? Hunting, plinking, paper, steel?

 

[JO JO]

Plinking/paper mostly at this point of time

the poll is at 72% swc so far guess there is no denying the almost perfect round hole they make in a target
