2009年12月12日 · Use 8.5 grains Unique with a 240 cast SWC for lighter target/plinking loads and 10 grains Unique with the same bullet for hunting stuff. They are easy to shoot loads and don't leave my wrist throbbing. I still shoot the heavy 300 and 320 cast loads, but usually only enough to tune up for elk/big game season.

2004年5月10日 · If you want to shoot loads in the range of 7.5 gr Unique with a cast 245 gr bullet (900 fps), get a Colt/clone in .44 spl. Great woods gun, and still much smaller than a Ruger .44 mag or N-frame Smith.

2013年4月17日 · I recently picked up a nice 44 Spl Blackhawk Bisley 5.5" the other day. I am thinking about carrying this with me while hunting with my scoped TC and maybe popping a deer under 50 yds?? I am loading a 200 gr Nosler with a stiff load of Unique..

2012年1月14日 · What is your favorite deer hunting load for heavy, modern 44 special handguns such as the FA 97 ? Bullets I am currently considering are 200 and 240 xtp, 210 speer gold dot, and hard cast 255 SWCGC, 280 WFNGC. I'm not looking for the hottest possible load just a good accurate hunting load that will do a good job on deer.

2014年3月17日 · Does anyone have a good recommendation for a deer load for the .44 Special.? Yes, I know I can use the .44 Magnum, but I've decided the Special out of my Super Blackhawk will be my choice this year. I figure from a ground, or tree stand and 25 yard self imposed range limit it should work just fine.

2020年5月27日 · What is your favorite .44 special load for deer hunting? If you have taken any game with a .44 special, I would love to hear about it too. A few years ago someone made up some bullets for a relative. They were using these loads in 44 mag rifles with kids. The bullet was a copper jacketed lead flat point. I think they were 185 gr.

2016年3月23日 · The 44 special is an excellent deer hunting cartridge when appropriately hand loaded. I've had great success on deer with 240-250 at 1050 or so. I recommend that you limit yourself to the range at which you can reliably shoot a 4" group from your field position.

2012年10月30日 · With a deer standing in front of him and all the excitement I know he will never notice the recoil, but has anyone had any experiences hunting with the 44 special. I'd go with a 180grn 44 mag load... less recoil than the 240s, shouldn't be an issue.

2019年9月22日 · I'd recommend the following bullets for deer hunting with 44 SPL loads; 430-265-SWC-GC. 430-235-RF-GC. 430-250-RFHP. All three are softer cast bullets HP bullets that will expand at 44 SPL velocities. Click on "more info" at each bullet site for appropriate velocitiy levels for the bullets. With the 265 gr bullet Id try 15 - 15.5 gr 2400.

2010年5月26日 · I have just gotten a Ruger Blackhawk 44 Spl w/ a 5.5 barreland I'm looking for a whitetail deer and hog load. thanks for the help guys.
