Thanks Lowercase and Jerrys. I have loaded some 240gr and tried them yesterday, BIG difference. The 240 at 950 was no pain at all. Granted the 265gr at 1000fps was on a cold day and cold fingers get hurt easy, but ya it is too much for the Bulldog. I will keep those in the Ruger Flat top. I do have some 200gr on the way and will see how they go at maybe 1000fps.
