I use the 270gr gold-dot over a healthy load of H322. Shoots 1.25" groups or better, and will absolutely flatten any black bear or deer there is. the 300gr uni-cor is also very good and so is the cast stuff. The Hornady load was specifically designed for 444 velocities and is adequate but not as good as the others. To the best of my knowledge, the Rem 240gr is still the same 44mag bullet thet they have been loading all along and has never been changed. It is IMHO too frangible @ 444 velocities.
