I'd love to catch a live Steelers game this fall and try talkin' you out of that 5.5" Redhawk. wink

To answer your question though, the .44mag is a very versatile cartridge for the hand loader. There's nothing wrong with the .357mag, it just loses out to math----------the .44cal does more great things with less fuss.

Skeeter Skelton sums it up with a quote I hope I get right(discussing the .44spl vs .357mag), "It's simply a case of a good big man beating a good smaller man."
