What all around LBT 44 magnum mould?

[Mallard57]

Hi Veral,
I've got 44 Ruger Super Blackhawk with .432 cylinder throats, I'm considering getting one of your moulds of that diameter.  For the sake of the wife, the dogs , and my creditors, I can probably only afford one for a while.  I'm thinking of something around 240-250 gr. in a plain base. 
My question is, what bullet style would you recommend for an all around projectile for targets and mice to deer?
                                           Thanks,
                                            Jeff

The WFN in 280 gr.  If you insist on a lighter bullet I offer them and will be glad to make one in the weight range you spedify, but again suggest you go for a 260 gr.

  More length equals better accuracy, and extra weight makes it suitable for anything you get the opportunity to hunt, to at least 1500 pounds, with the 280 gr.

Mr. Veral, thanks for the info! I had also wondered which bullet would be a good allrounder for the 44. When you say, "to at least 1,500 pounds"
I assume that would include big Hogs with a double shoulder shot through their grissle plate (big ones only occassionally). That is the toughest
animal that I will likely shoot with the 44. I would also assume that their is no real advantage for the velocity to exceed 1,100-1,200FPS. That
would be good too, as I use a Redhawk & a 4" 629 & this load should not be unpleasant even in the 629. So, in the 44cal I guess their is no need for 300 plus grains for these animals. Thanks again & I will try the 280gr.

If I am off on this please let me know.

  You got it.  We are going to both be happy.

Thank you very much for the reply. This should make things more simple for me.
