The only heavy load I've worked up in 44 Magnum is Ranch Dog CTL432-265-RF over 22 grains W296. I've not had the chance to work with a heavier bullet yet. I hunted in Alaska for years with a 10" SBH 44 with a 320 grain cast plain base truncated cone at unknown velocity. Made lots of venison. T...

The OP asked about a 44 vs 45 LC. The 45/70 is no doubt a much bigger hammer. In rifles of the same strength, you can put the greater capacity of the 45LC case to good use. It has about 20% more capacity and the same weight pills are much shorter. A 45LC loaded to the same pressure is probably good...

okay you have a big bear coming in fast, lets say a grizzly minimum.

What load and bullet ...

With the rising popularity of pistol caliber leverguns why hasnt there been a similar rise in the variety of "gummy tip" projectiles? Hornady only makes 140s for 357...why no 125, 115 or even 158? The better ballistic coefficient seems like a no brainer for tubular mags. Heck, a 165 grain...
