I have to admit I have learned a lot here. Given that Craig is using .431 bullets in his .44, I think that maybe if you start with an even larger bullet, say a .550 with a comparable meplat you could end up with a 44 that would surpass all other handgun cartridges.

I bet Craig was fun to watch in kindergarten with square pegs and round holes..
