780 ft-lbs
Speer Gold Dot .44 Magnum JHP:
200 grain
1075 ft/s
513 ft-lbs
Speer Gold Dot .44 Special JHP:
200 grain
875 ft/s
340 ft-lbs
I am leaning towards the Federal, but I would like to hear your thoughts.

EITHER of the 3 will do the job, BUT I'd go with the .44 Spec GDHP. Less recoil will facilitate easier follow up shots, and terminal effect will be the same on a 2 legged target.......
