   Pigs, brain or spine. In the bail or as I happen across them when hunting without dogs I prefer an ear shot(base of the ear hole side on) with 30cal subs I dislike pork so would rather a pig walk...

   Hi Bill. As you know, I've just got my 300BLK outfit sorted. Plan to use subs mostly. Can you tell us a bit about what you use it for, shot placement, range etc. Thank you!

   It's a whole lot louder sixtus. The supersonic crack is seriously unpleasant in tight bush in the bail, and that's what the dogs don't like. When I did the load development for the .44 Magnum, it...

   I don't have much pressure data, but one from a 44/40 205 grain load with Red Dot powder is 5.5 grains 7500 CUP 980fps, 6.5 grains 13.600 CUP 1125fps, 7.0 17.200 CUP 1180fps, 8.0 21.900 CUP 1290fps...

   Example: When I shoot 38sp out of my lever action, it's quieter to my ear than 22 subs out of my 22 rifle minus suppressor.

   what jumps out at me is what you said from begining....you CANT use suppressor but want less noise...so subsonic ISNT the b all and end all......a reduced load will give you less bang.....just how...

   44 is 0.429, yes, but .41 cal is another thing again (0.410)

   I can make them .431" for that extra hole size, No jacketed bullet can out perform a good cast bullet at subsonic velocity unless you are willing to pay $2.00 and up for each projectile

    Nope... .44 cal is 0.429”. And no offence, but if .429” bullet is going straight through a pig’s neck and not dropping it, it’s all to do with the placement, not the bullet! A .45 cal won’t solve...

    Go with the .44 mag the 44/40 doesn't do well with bullets not designed for it, To keep the blast down use fast pistol/shot gun powder like AS30 Trail Boss is not happy with heavy bullets AP70 is as...

    We run a .44 Rem Mag with cast 270gr flat nose & hollow points. They kill very well, because piggy is shot in the head, in the bail. Load them right, and use a crimp to control neck tension,...

    Yes you are right 44 mag is .429 and a 4570 is .458, a big difference. A while back Rossi45 posted photos of game - mostly Billy Goats Gruff that had been shot with a 4570 and subs. The damage was...
