Federal 44 mag 300 gr cast core?
Has any one tried them on game yet? Hogs,in particular? How about black bears? Got the new back-up gun( see below), and now trying to figure out what to laod it with . . .



As usual: thanks!

I'm not sure on the federal loacd specifically, but I have used the 300 gr cast performance bullet at similar velocities with great luck. I am not sure, but the bullet looks just like the cast performance bullet. They work well on hogs and deer.

Eric,
I've never tried the Federal load, can't seem to find them here. I have a box of Buffalo Bore 44 Magnum +P+ rounds. I haven't tried them yet. I want to shoot them over a chronograph and see what velocity I get.

What type of grips are those, Hogue? They look great.

Yes Sir, they are the Goncalo Alves grips from Hogue. I think they were $69.00 shipped.

Need to get these ugly Pachmyers off my Redhawk and install a set of those.

The Federal 300 gr. cast bullets will work well on both hogs and black bear.


If you're going to make a hole, make it a big one.
