Out of all the SBH's that I have the hunter is the most accurate. It fits me so well that it is more like an extension of me, although thats the way it is suposed to be now isn't it.

The .44 Magnum caliber is what got me into reloading when I was 16. What an awesome combo!!!

The local Sportsman's Warehouse has a Bisley Hunter in .44 mag that I have been eyeing.

I think that if I had one, it would see 10 .44spls for every .44 mag I put through it, but it does hang nicely in the hand.

I think you should get it. I love mine. I Don't normally run specials through mine only because I have developed the perfect magnum load for these particular guns, and have not developed a lower load yet.. I actually worked it up for the marlin, and as luck would have it it works perfectly in the SBHH. One of these days I will get around to working up a lighter target load for her, It gets a little tiring shooting my hunting loads all day.

what kind of flat critter are them guns laying on? that .44 sure does take the stuffing out of game!

The .44Mag is what got me into reloading 30+ years ago also...

(THEN I "DISCOVERED" THE .45COLT and Mr. Colt's masterpiece!)

I have thousands of rounds of .44 spl brass and not a single .44 mag, but I can appreciate the .44 mag. I tried to learn to shoot one in my early years, but a 4 inch 29 is not the easiest gun to learn on.

Then again, I have a .500 Linebaugh and there really isn't anything I cannot kill with it. It sucks to have no real good use for a gun!!!!

Scott,

Do you have a picture of your Linebaugh .500 -- blued, engraved and with those wonderfully scimshawed ivories? That is a thing of beauty.

They are on an African Bule Wildabeast. I would like to say that it is one of my trophies, but I have not gotten around to going to Africa. My uncle took it in 1989 IIRC.
