I have a 44 mag Rossi that I shoot Cowboy silhouette with. I started my load development with a 200 gr cast bullet and even though I got an extreme spread with all loads of about 20fps, I just couldn't get it to group under 4 feet at 100 meters. I tried jacketed bullets and groups shrunk to about 2inches at 100 meters on the first try. I then went to putting a gas check on a cast 240grSWC bullet and it has shot great ever since.
