Ya when you hand load it opens tons of doors for you. As of now i just shoot factory ammo. I still really think tho that this new .44 mag ammo that is out from buffalo bore and others would do a number on some really big game. Not that that matters for tho since i got my .44 mag for mainly whitetail hunting and black bear. Im really wanting to try the Double Tap XBP 225 grn .44 mag ammo with the Barnes copper bullet Rated at 1,500 fps out of 7.5 barrel probably close to 1,600 fps out of my 9.5 barrel! I think this would be a sweet whitetail round! Im thinkin that will put them down.LOL
