Thread: .44 Special

  1. #1

    .44 Special

    I just put 1K rounds of .44 Special 240 grain SWCs up on the website.

    These run right at 900 FPS from a 5" Model 29 and are absolute tack drivers.

    Love running these in a 4" Smith or a longer barrel Blackhawk.

    One of the most popular .44 Caliber loads made. Covers everything from Mule Deer and Black Bear to Coyotes and Jacks.

    First time shooting this load in a Ruger Flat Top I had never shot before , I got under a 2.5 inch group at 25 yards. I'm positive it would have done better with a different guy behind the gun.
    Shot it in a S&W 29 Mountain Gun and multiple Ruger Flat Tops and it shot well in all of them. Highly recommend!

    How do you think this would do out of a 2.5” snubby?

    No chrono data but I shot 5 out of my SW 296 and all I will say is never again. Damn snappy, my wrists and hand will not take it. Might be different for somebody younger and stronger. They are a joy in my 5.5" Ruger flat top however.

    A buddy's 2.5" Charter Bulldog shoots them to a dead center hold out to 15+ yards but with recoil on the manageable end of sporty.
