optimum cast bullet size fora newer Blackhawk 44 mag?
« on: December 03, 2007, 09:31:15 AM »
going to order some cast bullets and have a newer blackhawk hunter in 44 mag

anyone know what the optimum size would be without having to slug it myself?
I believe they are a bit bigger than other manufacturers
thanks in advance

I am thinking of a 240-260g keith style bullet at 1000-1100 fps and would be open to recomendations for bullet choice

It should shoot well with .430s. That's the standard diameter.
