Go check the W-W web site. I'd guess if its still in there portfolio they may only 'run' it once or twice a year.

I checked! Its still listed on their site.

Google .44 special ammo and the Midway USA sight comes up. Last time I looked, they had it. They give specs and reviews. You might want to try Blazer Gold Dot jhp 200 gr. Got good reviews.

My guns seem to like the Federal 200 gr. LSWCHP load. Last I saw, they were still making that.

I hear you LOUD & CLEAR! It seems businesses create web pages but never give them a 'beta' test before releasing them to the world - go figure.

Ammo sites usually typify poor web development, often forcing you to make multiple menu selections and drill down though several layers just to get basic info on muzzle velocity. Why they can't just make an on screen version of a typical ammo catalog chart is beyond me. Why do I need to click on "ammunition", then "handgun", then "personal protection", then "revolver", then ".44 special", then "specifications" (where they tell you important in like quantity in a case), then "detailed specifications" where they tell you the bullet weight and muzzle velocity, but no information on test barrel length, vented or non-vented, or trajectory.

Somebody must receive a 'bonus' in their check for keeping people on their web page trying to find what they came there looking for!!

I bought 50 Win. 246 grain RNL .44 Special cartridges in 1973. I couldn't wait to fire my first .44 revolver and needed brass to reload. I never bought another factory loaded .44 Special and never will. .44 Special is a reloaders' cartridge. The dollars you squander on factory .44 Special would be better spent on reloading dies and components.

I also have never bought any factory .44 Spl cartridges, only loaded my own. From various sources I have accumulated close to 500 cases over the years. I usually use .44 Spl loads in my .44 Mag guns. No shortage of .44 Mag brass, I just don't use much of it these days.
