I am Thinking of having my Ruger NMSBH Hunter 44mag Magna Ported,
To Reduce Recoil.

ANY Thoughts or Suggestions Welcome.

I would reduce my load in the interest of recoil reduction before I'd have a 44 ported.


Rod, too.

Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

I would do the same. The recoil doesn't have to be debilitating as you don't need to push it so hard. JMHO.

IMHO... X3

“I” worked up a heavy hunting load and a plinking load. You will never feel the hunting loads go off when your heart starts pounding... LOL

Plus Magnaport is designed primarily to reduce muzzle flip. And it does do that.

I've got a bunch of 44's, including one that is Magna Ported. Can't tell much difference between them. Mainly the Magna Ported one doesn't have quite as much muzzle flip, although it still comes back pretty good.

I doubt the Magna Port would help much on a Super Blackhawk 44, as it cuts down muzzle flip and the grip style of the SBH soaks up most of the recoil by sliding down in the hand due to the muzzle flip.

Personally, I'd go with some lighter bullets until you get used to it. I started shooting 44's when I was 10 years old. It's not the big kicker that most people think it is. Use some 180's or 200's to start off with, then slowly move up as you get more experienced with it. I started out with 200's when I was a kid.

Good Luck,
Brian.

Thanks to Every One for your input.
It Looks like this wont do what I was after, SO I will take the Advice to shoot lighter loads for now.

They don't need to be pushed fast to be effective. Have fun!
