I find the recoil of a 180gr bullet @ 1300fps very controllable and very accurate from my Glock 20 so that's what I want to match, not make it a heavy 41 magnum. I have plinking loads for all my handguns I load for but when I hunt with them it's with more or less full power loads.
44 magnum - 275gr @ 1250fps, 300gr @ 1100fps or 240 @ 1400fps. These are my recoil limits with the 44 magnum.
30/30 - 170 @ 2000fps
I've tried the 300's @ 1300+fps and I just don't like the recoil from the 44 magnum. I've shot the 454's in single actions, heavy 45LC's, 480's and 475 Linebaugh's and I'm glad other people can shoot them and enjoy them but I can't.
