Thanks for the info. I read your perma gel test results.


I started out using the RP 240 SP, and the SJHP, then later,
I actually used the Federal 180gr JHP as a duty load. It did have a bright flash at night, usually I used the 240Fed JHP when working after dark.

Later we were required to use the 200gr Speer JHP.

I agree on the Cor Bon 165 gr load, however in Cor Bons tests in their gel the 165 seemed to penetrate deeer than the 225 DPX, at least on the videos I saw.

I got a few boxes of it at a good price, back when it was hard to get any 44 Mag ammo.

I have shot some of the Speer 200gr Short Barreled load, as again I found a few boxes of it when I was on a road trip.

Have you shot any of it in your Perma Jell?

I shot it through some split firewood and it penerated better than I thought it would.

My buddy wants to stick with a 240gr bullet for his stockpile, but I am talking to him about having some city carry loads, and then of course using heavier cast bullets when in bear country...

He wants to keep things as simple as ossible.
He likes the idea of having one factory load, that is capable of all round use.
