Dick is right on the money on "shoot them from any angle" with good cast bullets. You will never recover one either. The one thing I don't like about hard cast bullets, is the narrow wound channel "if" you don't hit bone. I have had better luck with the plane old 240 grain Remington flat nose jacketed bullet. They are very robust, simply will not shed their jackets and penetrate like crazy. I haven't recovered any of these either on hogs and deer with shoulder shots, but the wound channels are pretty darn impressive! I have shot them into clay, dirt, rocks, trees etc. trying to destroy them. Haven't done it yet and they are EXTREMELY accurate. I shoot them at a smidge over 1,500 fps in a 10.5" Super Blackhawk. I can't see how an elk or moose would stop one either.
My second choice by a slim margin is the Hornady XTP in 240 and 300 grain. Hornady really nailed it with this line of bullets. I really dig the 180 grain XTP's in .357 magnum. What an awesome hunting bullet and super accurate. In the end, there really aren't any bad .44 bullets, just bad shooters ;o)

I could be wrong, probably am, but wasn't that 44 Rem jacketed developed for the .444?

I don't know, but I bought several thousand of them and they are all I hunt with. They always mushroom, yet never shed the jackets. I don't think they are "bonded", but they might as well be. Flinch
