Just returned from my annual "sabbatical" in the Hill Country. Using one Garrett 310gr Hammerhead round, Ruger Super Redhawk (7.5"), and Leupold 4X scope, I got a spike buck at 110 yards, and he is in the freezer

. If you hunt with a 44, you may want to try Garrett's ammo. It clocked out at 1,358.7 through my Ruger. Best group size during practice the weekend before the trip was 5 shots with 1.75" extreme spread at 100 yards. I practiced for three weeks prior to that with my handloads to work on technique, group size etc.

I just took delivery of a new Super Blackhawk "Hunter" chambered in 44mag and topped it with a Bushnell 2X32 EER scope to hunt deer and other 4 legged critters with. I also picked up a die set to start reloading 44mag and would be interested in the data on the handloads you've had good luck with (via email) if you wouldn't mind.

Thanks,

Rick

Nice shootin Doc j. I'm going to try that load in my .44 Next year will be my chance to try Handgun for elk. I shot my last few elk and deer at easy handgun range with a scoped -06.
