The 44 Magnum was developed with 245 hard lead SWC. Muzzle velocity was claimed as 1200 f/s. I say claimed as chronographs were NOT in casual use.
Hollowpoints were not used (too hard to cast). Oregon Trail makes a good lead bullet, and you might find a local maker that does good bullets. Go for a heavy dose of H110 or 2400 and watch for leading. When leading starts building up in a few shots, you're too hot. Or when your manual says "max".
