Have you chronographed it through at least a four-inch bbl.?
Chronographed the basic 246 grain lead RN load?

I chronoed several factory 44 Special loads thru a 4 5/8" Ruger FlatTop when I first got it.
200 grainers run about 900-910 on average.
246 grainers run about 710-720 on average.
I have no experience with DT or Buffalo Bore ammo, I reload, however, close to BB specs (200 grain XTP @ 1130 fps, 250 SWC @ 1060 fps).
Although some like Barnes rifle bullets (for hunting) people that really shoot lots of game with them are reporting that often (too often) the game runs off, presumably, due to poor/no expansion. I surely wouldn't use them after disappointing experiences involving accuracy, pressure, velocity and fouling in 3 different calibers.
