Thanks for everyone's help.

In a ltwt 4" gn, these loads are brutal to shoot & not really necessary. A 300gr LFP bullet @ 1100fps isn't stopping inside any bear in NA, maybe a coastal brown shot end to end, but not much else. So adding another 200fps, only adding recoil & that makes shot placement, the critical part, more diff. If you aren't handloading for your 44mag, you should be. Then your ammo options are limitless. Even IF Kalif gets their internet ammo ban thru, which I doubt.
My bullet is a cast 270gr cup point. It will deform some, pushed @ 1100fps in a 4" M29. Easy to shoot accurately & quickly in DA if needed. Handloading gives you so many more choices.
