Hey, since we're discussing the .44 mag, something else just struck me, and this goes out to the whole board.
Back when I was a kid (late 60's/early 70's), I remember seeing the stats for the .44 mag as pushing a 240 gr. jacketed bullet out of the barrel at 1470 fps, developing 1150 ft/lbs. of ME.
This is out of a long barreled pistol, mind you.
I realize that over the years, the throttle has been pulled back on the .44 mag, but has anyone ever found a reliable handload that imitates those stats?
