Thanks Muddy, good to know they will work out of the 44 special. Especially after this years experience with the 200gr. XTP. Shot and chronograph the Speer loads today, good accuracy and I'm getting 1281fps. This is 18 grn. of 2400 out of 5 1/2" FA 97. Happy with it,but will have to match nose profile with the bullets,to get same overall length. Not crazy about having to do that.
