I like the .44 Mag as well. Just not as much as the special. After taking numerous deer and hogs with specials in a much handier package the Magnums stay at home most of the time. Doesn't mean I don't like them, just that they aren't needed that much on deer and hogs. Good shot placement with a 240-250gr cast bullet at 1000fps worked wonders. If you can rattle off a cylinder of 240SWCs from my Ruger Bisley .44 Special and not smile you are an exceptional person. reflex264
