I've had 44Mag shooters from Smith and Ruger but never picked up a 44Special shooter of any brand .....yet.

I like reloading for the 44Mags that I had from bunny loads to those famous nuclear loads. Seems like I may have overlooked this caliber.

Tell me more about why you like this caliber and some of the loads for it that are your favorites. Also interested in knowing why this Ruger GP
model seems to be held in high regard. Accuracy, weight, flexibility in ammo, etc.

I haven't got into the Ruger double action shooters yet but this post is intriguing.
