Thanks for all the great info.

One of the reasons I asked about this, was an ammo review I read on midwayusa.com in reference to:

Buffalo Bore Ammunition 44 Remington Magnum +P+ 340 Grain Lead Flat Nose Gas Check Box of 20
http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct...tNumber=513011

This had me a little worried.

I bought these rounds for bear protection while moose hunting. I shot them in a super redhawk. For my pistol they did fine, at the range it has a 1.5" pattern at 25 yards which was outstanding. However, my buddy now has a .44 magnum S&W paper weight. He shot two rounds of it after I put 10 rounds through mine. The 2nd round he shot off seized the gun up solid and the gunsmith has deemed it a $900 paper weight. His S&W was sent back to the factory to see if they could repair it and had no luck freeing the cylinder and informed him that due to him using a round with pressures in excess of what S&W has rated the fire arm for they cannot help him. I would not recommend this round for anything other than Rugers and Freedom Arms revolvers.
