    You guys are both right- there WAS a slow lot of 820. Not common and only saw it very early in this 820 game. Majority of it was produced around 1970. I have the two most common lots-

    Have had very satisfactory results from cast as well. A Texas heart shot or through the differential with cast works well too. I don’t worry about meat loss with slow cast as they don’t grenade the...

    Number 9 and 14 are pretty good posts.
    I think you would be well served by some form of jacketed hollow point to start with in the 44. Load to 1150 and go hunting.
