I've probably fired as many or more .44 Specials in the .44 mag as I have magnums. Clean the chambers afterward & you are good to go. The problem is we don't find them as cheap as say the 9mm or .38 Special.
Yes, true for light loads for the .44 caliber.
I was addressing a true "mid-range" load in .44 caliber for the 240 grain cast bullet at 1,000 fps.
Aside from the expensive and less available Buffalo Bore "Heavy Load" .44 Special, I have not found a commonly available, street stocked .44 caliber load using a 240 grainer at 1,000 fps; only loads that run about 700 to 850 fps (.44 Specials) or .44 Magnum loads in that bullet weight at a higher velocity.
What have I missed? Do you know of one that is stocked on the shelves (.44 caliber, 240 grs, 1,000 fps)?
Actually I don't, I know Garrett, HSM, & Buffalo Bore offer heavier .44 Special loads.
Mostly I use Skeleton's old load of Unique & load my own.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
