Thread: loads for 44 mag 16" barrel

I was running the 240 gr XTP’s and swear by them.

Even when I was researching loads all the forums here and abroad were pointing at the XTP’s.

For my shooter which was a Ruger carbine I was using 23 gr AR2205, Federal large pistol primer & the 240 gr XTP

The XTP performs as it should mushrooming beautifully if you get to recover any!

I only shot a handful of Sika with that load & I nick named that rifle/cartridge the “Hammer of Thor” for good reason as you’ll experience for yourself.

Dirty Harry will be proud of you going with a .44
