I bought a Ruger SBH with a 5.5" in barrel in .44 mag last Jan and am needing a recommendation for a boolit and speed or load for a light hunting load. I have a SRH with a 9.5 in barrel and Win 94 all in .44 mag and the hunting loads I use in them are a little stout in the shorter barreled SBH. I got the gun to carry during hunting season as an opportunity gun like squirrel hunting an walking up on a deer. Or for use as a finisher.
I was wondering if it would be better to go with a light (~200gr) boolit fast or heavier (250-280 gr) slower. Or if there was something in between.
I have the 207 gr gc, RD 285 and the Lyman 285 gr group buy moulds, a Lee 240 gr swc (have neve been able to get it to cast well or shoot) and RCBS 250gr K mould. I shoot WC820, Unique, 2400, bullseye and 296.
Thanks for any thoughts.
