I have fired full load 240 JHP's over heavy loads of Win 296 and H110, and the drawback is the lighter weight of the gun, and the old hogleg grip. It looks and carries great, but that combination will punish you a bit. The Bisley grip is better; rubber grips are more absorbent, etc, but both take away from the great looks of the 50th .44 mag Flattop. You might want to loctite the screws all around if you intend to do a lot of shooting with heavy loads. ............................................
