Yes the bullet does have a canalure on it. Hornady's suggested 44 sp loads of Win 231(HP-38) start at 4.9 gr @ 650 fps, so I think I'll work up to 6.4 gr @ 800 fps. But these listed velocities are related to a 44 special load in a 44 sp case...NOT a 44 mag case. So the listed velocities probably aren't accurate?
