I bought a couple of boxes a few years ago. It shot a little low with my fixed sight 44, about three or four inches at 25 yards if I remember correctly. It did group good though. I put the rest through a model 29 after raising the back sight a little. It's good ammo.

My first whitetail killed with a handgun was with PMC 240gr .44 mag.I have shot a lot of PMC over the years in .44 and .41 mag.No issues other than the fact that it seems to shoot a little dirtier than other brands at least that is my perception.

IMHO the 180 gr. bullet is light for the cartridge, and is probably best suited to the smaller-framed 5-shot .44s. However, the brass is top-notch for handloads, the full equal to Federal or W-W. So burn 'em up at the soda cans and pinecones, and use the brass for the rest of your life.
