My go to load in .44Spec is the Skeeter load (7.5g of Unique under 240g SWC). That's around 1000fps. Then there is the Keith load which is 17g of 2400 under 240g SWC. Runs about 1200fps. I've shot it, but much prefer the Skeeter load for general use. Would not shoot either of these loads in a Bulldog, but fine in the medium frame flattop BH. Don't take my word for it though, do your own research.
Here is the Treasure Trove of .44 Spec articles .
Pay particularly to the Brian Pearce, Seyfried, and Taffin articles, but all are good reading!

That said, the .44Spec is right up their too... but the .45 Colt is still the king.
