Broke in the 3" .44 Mag with 240 gr. Hornady XTP's. Very low flash, very high pain....I am paying dearly for all those years of shooting a lot of big bore revolver.

Just a Hairy Special Snowflake supply clerk with no field experience, shooting an Asymetric carbine as a Try Hard. Snarky and easily butt hurt. Favorite animal is the Cape Buffalo....likely indicative of a personality disorder.

I feel your pain today. Just got back from breaking in the KB. 25rds of S&B 240gr JSP and 12 of Barnes 225gr XPB. I'm missing a little flesh and my hand feels like I ran a ton of heavy +P's out of an airweight. I'm thinking I shoulda bought the Alaskan instead.Originally Posted by nyeti

^ ^ ^ I'm really liking the 44 spl in the 4" 24 and medium level loads. I'm not sure the shoulder would like the heavy loads in the 44 mag at this point. I think some 200 gr cast loads in the spl may be even better yet, rather than the 240-250's.
This is why I'm reduced to shooting WCs from my 642s...................
Trust me. It gets worse.
Several years ago I decided it may be a good idea to lay hands on a K-32 for cheap and mild shooting when I was more geezerly. I waited too long. They had been discovered and werent $300 any longer.
The K-22 is great though, as is the 22 conversion kit on the 1911. A Colt Woodsman may be a good investment in shooting fun.
I am going to try to find the Speer GD short barreled 200 grain .44 Mag load that sounds like it Gould be great for the short pigs.....and old hands.

The 240gr@~1200fps Hydra Shok isn't too bad out of my 3" 629.
Yea, I am finding that.
