Swift has a new 44 caliber bullet coming out. A 240 grain. Good news for Hunters who may not want to go as high as a 280 or 300 grain. Hopefully this Swift might be used in a 44 Sp too.

I've been loading them for a couple of months. Haven't taken anything with one yet, but I can tell you they are accurate as all get out. Groups better than XTPs.

Did Swift give you Load Data? Or did you have to extrapolate someone else's? And I am curious if this bullet can be used for a 44 Sp ?
BTW I didn't know these were out yet,,, Where did you find them ?

Yep, Midway is where I got mine. CT, I did not get load data from Swift. I backed off my standard 296 44 mag load a half grain. Shot so we'll I didn't try anything else. Clocked 1430 fps out of a 10" barrel.

Swift has data for the .240gr in their new loading manual.
