Okay, so I went to the range today and shot 75 rounds.
Mostly Winchester white box 240gr semi jacketed soft point but also a box of Hornady XTP.
It took me two or three shots to find where to hold but it was sighted in well and did not need to be adjusted, though that does not mean it was accurate.
I found it difficult to be accurate with this firearm, even with the Hornadys, then again I'm a crap shot in the first place.
If any of you have done any research on this firearm, you may have heard that it was designed for guides, or anyone who may find themselves in grizzly territory, like in Alaska.
This could include fishermen, hunters, hikers, etc.
I want to say that if I were planning for grizzly territory I would not carry a .44. I'd go with at least a .454 Cassull.
Although I'm not sensitive to recoil, the .454 hurts and it's hard to get fast, accurate follow up shots (for me at least).
Since .44 magnum will get the job done on the black bears and mountain lions I worry about out here, it seemed like a no brainier to go with the .44
Although the .454 also shoots .45 long colt, I'd rather stick with one cartridge.
I can run standard fmj for 'plinking' and i can carry buffalo bore .44 +p+ when I'm actually in the woods.
I have a box waiting for me to shoot =]
