Hornady builds the best expanding 44 MAG bullet in my opinion. I've had very good luck with both 200 gr. and 240 gr. XTP style.

For the record, 44 MAG is actually a .429 or .430 diameter bullet. But no matter what the diameter is as it flies through the air. Upon impact, the XTP will consistently expand to .75 !
