Another .44 I haven't had the opportunity to try yet. Finished a batch of these up last night. With the GC and powder coat these weigh 253 grains with my 3:1 lead:lino alloy.

It's a good bullet. My father shot a bunch of these from his old Super Blackhawk.

I shot one of these cast of Lino/WW at 50:50 through a big pig longwise from the left eye to the right ham. 10gr Unique 7 1/2” SBH. It died.

My absolute favorite all around 44 bullet. It shoots great groups out of any gun I’ve tried it in.

Nice bullet there " Longarm". Because of the large , & could be dangerous critters I could encounter while out oh the property I prefer a heavier bullet for my 44 rifle or hand gun. I really like the Lee 310gr GC style. Shoots quite accurately from my hand gun or rifle.[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]

Those are quite “purty” ! 😁 memtb

The Lyman 429-244 GC has been one of my favorite bullets in my Ruger Super Blackhawks for many years.

These are from a couple of black bears that I shot almost 50 years ago...
