I was going to post the same question!
The Speer 240 grain flat point (and 270) are my favorite 44 Magnum bullets. I dislike the hollow points for hunting and the Gold Dots really hold together. I used the 240 grain to put a cow down for butchering a few years ago. The bullet completely penetrated the skull and was found after penetrating a good 12 inches down the spinal column. The bullet was mangled pretty good but totally held together and didn�t separate. I have been shooting the Nosler sporting handgun bullets out of my Marlin at about 1550 fps for practice and they seem to lose their jacket regularly in the backstop.
This is the first year Ohio has allowed rifles firing handgun cartridges during deer season. I have been looking for some Speers. I guess I�ll have to go with the Hornady XTP. Remington used to make a flat point bullet too but I haven�t found any of those either.
