The beauty of the .44 Mag is that you have so many choices, as Ozzieman pointed out. But I agree with him and PawPaw, my "go to load" is a 250gr. Keith bullet from Leadhead bullets, (www.proshootpro) with enough H-110 to go about 1350fps. out of my old 7.5" three screw Blackhawk. It is cheap to load, really accurate out of my gun, and will go straight through a Musk Ox front to back at 90 yards.
And as PawPaw said, you can eat right up to the hole!!

. I love that line,Paw!:

But whatever you choose it is hard to go wrong with any suitable bullet in any .44 Mag
I just prefer the hard cast Keith bullets, after all, Ol' Elmer knew a thing or two about .44's and how to design bullets!

JMHO, and as always, YMMV
