Just finished loading up a batch of .44 Special with Matt's 250 grain round nose hollow cavity bullet over 9.5 grains of Blue Dot and I feel compelled to say the little Charter is an absolutely wonderful little companion piece!
As much as I love my J-frames the 30% greater terminal impact of the .44 Special from a short barrel, in a compact revolver that weighs only 4.1 oz. more than a 642-1 makes the CA an amazing buy!
