Continuing with my trend of shooting heavy bare lead loads:
***CHRONY DATA***
74 F, 30.07" Hg, 46%RH
.44 Magnum 310-gr LSWC 1.738-1.741" COAL
Taurus M44 with 6.5" barrel
16.7-gr Ramshot Enforcer powder CCI-350LPP(m) - AVERAGE = 1061 fps - ES = 65
17.4-gr Ramshot Enforcer powder CCI-350LPP(m) - AVERAGE = 1126 fps - ES = 86
17.7-gr Ramshot Enforcer powder CCI-350LPP(m) - AVERAGE = 1131 fps - ES = 73
18.2-gr Ramshot Enforcer powder CCI-350LPP(m) - AVERAGE = 1170 fps - ES = 84
All barked with authority and rang the steel gong very well. There's not a huge difference in extreme spread amongst them. If you were to choose from one of these loads which would you go with for a hunting round? I am sure any of them would pack enough wallop for any animal east of the Mississippi.
Once I settle on one of these I will load up some more and test in other barrel lengths.

Re: 310-gr LSWC in .44 Magnum
Given the similar ES numbers, I'd have to see if any of them were more accurate than the others to make the call.
