I acquired a .44 mag and am looking for a good factory load or two for pigs and deer. I know each gun is a little different on which loads will shoot well but I'm looking for a few to try that will do the job well.


I work hard, drink a little and hunt when I can.

I would go with a 240 JHP of some variety.


The secret to a long life is to try not to shorten it.
