Actual performance on game 44 mag JSP bullets ?

[Nemo288]

16" bbl Win 94.

That is definitely a neat gun.

When USRAC came out with the 44 magnum trapper I could not resist and got the optional laminate stock which were new at the time.
A lot of firepower per cubic inch and so easy to carry.
Friends firing it are usually astonished by the recoil from a "little revolver round" (Dirty Harry notwithstanding).
Not being into AR's, etc. if real anarchy happens I would consider this rifle above most others I have.
The 20" ones have a couple more rounds but are not quite as easy to lug around.
I have shot one deer with this one right thru (and thru) the boiler room.
Jumped about 5 yards and flopped for good.
I used my (and a lot of others) old standard: 24gr. 296/110 and the 240 XTP.
I now use 19gr. 2400 and a 260 Cast Perf. WFNGC worked up for the 7.5" Redhawk.
I painted white dots on both sights. Makes a big improvement.
Despite the name of the picture, I have yet to meet up with a hog up here in cheeseland.

Hawk bullets makes some awesome .430 bullets. You pick the jacket thickness. .025, .035, .050 for really tough hide and bone. i bought some 275 grain soft point w/.025 jackets. they make HP OR FP. Take a look at there website
