With the hope of staying more on topic, then this sounding like a hi-jack.

I hear a lot about stout cast-bullets , it would seem you could get a lot more powder behind a jacked bullet? I wonder what the advantages would be over say a hefty jacketed soft point or hollow-point?

I Will bring my Super Blackhawk (.44mag) and a Thomson Center Contender with a .44Mag Super (14") barrel this year. I hope to develop a load that they could share.

I would consider carrying the Blackhawk for elk, if I were only going to be riding/packing out elk. Or an extremely wet and foggy day making a scope nearly impossible to hunt.

I did hunt a day last season over my bull's gut-pile for bear, with my Contender.
What would be the best bullets choice for elk in a .44M?


Clinging to my God, and my guns!
