I have to agree. .44 Mag ammo nowadays is not nearly as hot as it was. Even loading manuals have dialed back loads for the .44 Mag if I can recall correctly. And I don't think that a Model 25 cannot withstand the loads a BH can eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.


yep, the original loads often had 240's at 1470 fps, now most 240gr loads are under 1300 fps.

The .357 mag also got throttled back about the same time.
