Trying to find 45 Super Ammo in Anchorage, AK has become a true saga (I think GJM bought all of it). My HK USP field pistol capabilities are on hold until I get ammo. This has forced me (a real arm twister to buy a Ruger SRH Alaskan 44 mag 2.5" bbl.
Looking for 44mag ammo for bear protection. Considering Buffalo Bore, Underwood, Garret's and Federal Premium Core Cast.
Around 305gn'ish. Desired velocity above 1,100 FPS but nothing obscene that makes follow up shots extremely slow.
My main concern is reliability, anyone had excellent or negative experiences w/ this caliber in any of the manufactures mentioned?
My buddy had some Buffalo Bore jump crimp and tie up the cylinder in his .454 SRH w/ 2.5" bbl...
Thanks for any input.
