780 ft-lbs
Speer Gold Dot .44 Magnum JHP:
200 grain
1075 ft/s
513 ft-lbs
Speer Gold Dot .44 Special JHP:
200 grain
875 ft/s
340 ft-lbs
I am leaning towards the Federal, but I would like to hear your thoughts.

The numbers I got from Speer Gold Dot out of my 3" 629
44 Spl 759
44 Mag 983
I feel like they would do the job very well. Huge hollow point, soft lead.
