is anyone planing on using this ammo in the 44 mag. i have a henry big boy 44 mag that i will be using. the rem. 180gr. ammo that i used last year worked good within 80 yards anything farther was incosistant and would feel comfortable making a shot over 100 yds. with it would the revalution make a difference.

the 30-30 rounds are the hardest hitting rounds that I have ever put down the tube, I just got a ruger 77-44 carbine for a brush gun and do plan to run Lererevoulition in it.

.35 cal is my choice, works wonders, and so far they go straight down.

I would NOT use this ammunition in a revolver.It was designed for a rifle and the pressure may be too high.

Why then does Hornady list it as dual purpose? They even have ballistics info for it out of a handgun as well as a rifle?

Hornady states it is safe in revolvers.I have shot it in my super redhawk with no problems.It really shoots good groups at 100 yards.

The stuff is pretty anemic in .44 mag. Low velocities comparatively speaking.

I done a penetration comparison between .44 pistol rounds, Corbon with barnes all copper bullet, leverloution, Fusion, and Hornady 240 grain HP. We shot into folded newspaper that was wet. The Corbon did the best with 8" of penetration with an intact bullet that was curled back like a star, very mean looking. The fusion did the 2nd best with good weight retention, Both the other bullets started coming apart and were about 1" off in pentration.
