Does anyone have field and/or range experience with Garrett Hammerhead loads in .44 Mag?

I have. Two does, both dropped in their tracks. Range was about 15 yds and about 25. Quartering toward me. Complete penetration and almost instant collapse. These are pretty small deer. Not much of a challenge.

My old law partner used two rounds on two deer near Marfa this year, he was happy with the results and I am dropping off the rest of my box to him on Friday. He wanted more but he blinked at the price!!!!

Randy Garrett makes some of the best ammo available anywhere. Good stuff.

It looks like pretty good stuff. Thanks for the input.

The only thing that I've had the opportunity to shoot with them is a eastern coyote. I guess that I don't need to tell you that it worked very well. They are awesome loads. What are you shooting them in? I shoo tmine out of a 44 Mag Ruger Balckhawk.

Buddy used them in Africa. He took a zebra with one shot from his Ruger Blackhawk Hunter.

I would be using a Ruger Redhawk and be taking hogs and maybe larger exotics in the future.

BRL, I find it strange that you use two off topic links on a handgun hunting forum?

If you want to use their hottest loads, they can only be fired in the Redhawk and Raging bull. They are to long for single action revolvers and to much pressure for the S&W.

....but not for S&W

They CAN be used in Dan Wesson's though! :wink:

Hello all,
I use them in my Dan Wesson 744 with 9.5" barrel, to good effect I might add.

That is my signature on my profile, it shows up on any post. I didn't just add it on the handgun post that I did above. I see a lot of signatures from members that aren't related to hunting/guns. Those happen to be my businesses and several people here are helped by one or more of my products. If you don't agree with what I have done, please feel free to private message me and we can discuss it further.

Thank you.

BRL, On I see, your sneaking a little free advertising in, every time you post? Usually, the links, I see, pertain to the topic of the forum.
