I'm trying to find a 44mag JHP/SJHP in the 180-240gr weight range that will work well in a 44spl. Most 44mag bullets are designed to open up at 44mag velocities, which lessens their effect in the milder 44spl velocities.
I'm not looking for a 44spl bullet. Those do exist, but I'm looking for something that's a bit more versatile between the calibers. I've read that the XTP 200gr .430's expand reliably at a wide variety of ranges. Does anyone have any experience with these or other JHP's in 44spl?
I intend to use these as practice/light hunting/HD rounds. I know... reloading for HD is not the highly regarded, but I don't want to start an argument about it in this thread. I just want a round that will stop the BG and not hurt my neighbors.
Oh yeah... accuracy is an important factor, too.
