Is the recoil on the Bulldog similar to a 357 mag, or a 38+P from a revolver of similar weight as the Bulldog?
I wish Buffalo Bore would make a 200gr full wadcutter 800-850fps load.
You can buy a Lee loader hand tool with everything needed to reload your own .44 special ammo for something like $30 if you want to give it a try.Cooldill,those loads are still too hot for the Charter,they need a load that gets 800-850 out of the Bulldogs 3" barrel or the Pugs 2.5". I know they say its safe for the Charter but Buffalo's ammo is always towards the warm side.
Buffalo Bore:920 fps - Charter Arms Bull Dog, 3 inch barrel.The load is listed as a 1000fps load,still a little to warm IMHO for the Charter.
Per Buffalo Bore:
1036 fps - Ruger Super Black Hawk, 5.5 inch barrel
971 fps - S&W MT Gun, 4 inch barrel
948 fps - S&W Mod. 396, 3 inch barrel
920 fps - Charter Arms Bull Dog, 3 inch barrel
913 fps - S&W Mod. 296, 2 inch barrel
justin22885 = hmm, wonder how parkerizing or possibly something like cerakote would look on a revolver that the bluing is failing to protect?.. ive been considering cerakoting my redhawk when i get it because i really dont want a bright shiny finish, but i do like the properties of the stainless
Hey Gordon, do those HKS speedloaders seem to have lots of wobble to the rounds? The CA-44s I got a while back held the cartridges so loose, I wasn't sure if I get defective ones or not!The WW Silvertip .44 spl load is very accurate and on the rotten hunk of tri tip I fired it into opens up more than a little . It is stout in the light .44 spl guns I have but what isn't ? It is tolerable tho in my 19 oz Scandium S&W or my olde Bull Dog.
