I shoot some plated bullets in my Blackhawk. If I exceed a specific fps, the rpms will cause the bullet to come apart. Speeds akin to 45acp velocities, make for acceptable groups; typical 44mag velocities, will may not hit the target at hunting distances... And if it does hit, it may only be a part of the bullet.
