I pealed the target from a back board and put it down on a convenient board. My most frequently used load with the Colt and Remington is 30gr equivalent of pyrodex. Both of the guns in these pictures are from Uberti USA. I haven't seen a cimarron and don't know if they are prettier or not but each of the guns I have cost about $230 as in your catalog. I would not buy a gun from any other manufacturer to save money as the difference would probably soon be made up in agrevation and replaced parts.

These .44s have paper ballistics that look a little like standard pressure .38 specials when loaded with about 30 grains. Velocities chronographed in the 800 fps+ range with the .451 & .454 140 grain balls. High 700s with a 200 grain Lee cast bullet.

Here are some figures from two different Remingtons- a Uberti and a pietta
As you can see, there is quite a bit of difference and I would expect more variation with different guns"
30 Gr American Pioneer Pietta 506 57
30 Gr Pyrodex P Uberti 975 66
35 Grains FFFG .454 Uberti 855 37
30 Grain FFFG .454 Uberti 795 31
30 Grain Pyrodex P .454 Uberti 966 54
30 Grain FFFG Lee Uberti
200 Grain Bullet 764 41
