You bet Caster1977. I am not adverse to filing the sights to shoot point of aim when I settle on a load for my purposes!

Thanks, I am a fan of Bullseye for these kinds of shooting!
I love the location in AZ where you are at, ShooterAZ.

Deplorable here too!
Thanks for the GREAT and informative reply Gary!
I will use your info fo a good starting point!

Thanks for the feed back! The 69 has adjustables, and the C.A. I am not troubled by filing down the front sight to s good self-defense load. Thanks again!

I received 200 Bullets from MATT"S BULLETS. They are VERY light weight 150 grain .44 Wad-cutters! Any ideas on loads to experiment with using these almost comical looking BOOLITS? They are sized to...

Today, after a 20 year lapse in reloading and casting, decided to get back into it. Not sure if I can find a lot of my reloading gear, ie:Press, dies, moulds, etc. I did find my old .44Mag/Special...

GREAT INFO Stephen! Thanks, it will be put to use in my 2 1/2 Dog and 4.2" Target dog too!

GREAT info Mr. Onelight! Those loads show real promise, and I will implement them soon. Thanks for the reply! One aside is, those different guns, with different twist rates, can have a big effect on...

Red Dot is good for the forty four, but curious, why do you use a jacketed round? Buying good cast Boolits are just as good and cheaper in most cases. I have cast hundreds of thousands back when I...

The older ones were GREAT light weight little Loudmouths, the new ones seem to have some problems BUT, I have been in contact with CA and they are always willing to make their guns RIGHT! Call, they...

Thanks Ed! Good info I can bet my life on. I wonder how the loads would do in Calibrated Ballistic Gel? I am not equipped to use that recipient for loads, but maybe someone else has, or will? Thanks...

Totally agree Pettpace! I have shot the "keith" at 600 e-fps and walls are like butter soft to those 'bulky" SWC! Many WC overpenetrate in flesh and bone, but often times knock through doors and...

This was my OP, and I thank the many folks with good advice. I believe I have found my EDC round, and it will be factory, 44 Special 125gr. Xtreme Defender Solid Monolithic Hunting & Self Defense...

Thanks BOWDRIE! I enjoy reading and learning from those who excell with learnin' LOL I will dig into that information ASAP! Thanks again! WDW44

Love it! The government has all the answers to problems we don't have. They create problems so they can claim WE ARE HERE TO HELP!

Having carried concealed for about 58 years now, almost daily, I...

Appreciate the reply. I am not concerned about bullets hitting low. Once I find the one that gives me everything I want, I will gunsmith the front sight to POA. Have dome that with other fixed sight...

Thanks THIN MAN! Just found it, and am hungrily devouring them now!

A secondary related question: Everyone seems to like to quote the "Skeeter load" as the (Choose your level of enthusiasm) load, and I mean him no disrespect having read him for years in Shooting...

Thanks for that information! Will put it to good use.

Sounds like a winner right there! I was just sent some 175grn DEWC and that is where I will most likely begin.

That penetration should be sufficient, if all the variable coincide. Do you load those flush to the case mouth as intended, or...? I reversed the HBWC in 38 special for years and have a fun story...

I agree! I am certain some ******* will help our memories. I have carried daily for 52 years, and have had to pull on three occasions (on and of duty), and never have had to do the dirty of defending...

Thanks to you, Shooting on a shoestring. I have acquired some cast 185 grain full double ended wad cutters,and since I am prone to "big leaky holes" as you so aptly state, that may be the one. If I...

Being re-tired LEO I loaded some .38/.357 Speer shot shells with 3-"ooo" buck and snuck a couple into my yearly qualification training. Shooting 300/300 was my norm, so imagine when the range...
