Dirty Harry didnt have the internet, to inform him of the shortcomings of a .429 slug!!!!! You cant blame him! Lol. When are we gonna get that sarcastic smiley?! My dad toted a 44 for alot of years, before he passed away. He would get a kick and a giggle out if this thread. He was a handloader when I was a little kid, and y'all shoulda heard it when he was testing loads in the basement!!! He had a 20 yd "range" with a big box if phone books at one end. For those of yall who are wondering, a 44, IS powerful enough to rattle pictures upstairs when your dad is trying out some hot handloads, and it was plenty powerful enough to bring down the wrath of mama when she'd had enough of pictures falling! Lol.
