Is "Linear Compensators" another name for suppressor, or sometinelse?
First buck I shot with a .44 mag revolver was at the end of a potato field in Aroostook Cty Maine in 1963. Never saw any reason to change calibers and I've shot many since with the .44 mag. Never lost a one!
Thank you, interesting reading to be done. What would your opinion be for one added to a 14 inch 44 mag TC barrel to get it above 16” for carbine use?? Would it actually be quieter to the shooter? Is there a difference in perceived recoil from the additional gas going forward? Looking for personal experience.
357 mag, all day everyday
of course you can load any ol way you want to but why would you use full house 357 loads and down load a 44 magnum?
Makes no sense to me but if you are hypothetical I would still ride with a 44 mag
just for the size difference if anything
Recoil. A 180 grain bullet at 1350 fps recoils about like a 260 grain bullet at 925 fps, maybe 1000 fps if you consider the 44 is probably a larger and heavier gun. You may have built up enough resistance, but some of us are recoil shy. I had shot my Redhawk a ton last year, and felt comfortable with it with strong loads. Now that I've taken about a 6 month break, I found myself very uncomfortable with those strong loads. It is something you have to keep up on, use it or loose it. A 357 magnum or 44 special by comparison is much easier to shoot well. Nobody argues accuracy is king, and you can't be accurate if you can't pull the trigger without tensing up or even flinching.
The question originally asked ultimately boils down to a lighter, faster, and expanding bullet in a lighter gun VS a heavier, slower, and non-expanding bullet in a heavier gun. I'm sure I already voted, but I'll take the expanding bullet every time, and the lighter gun is a bonus.
357 mag. Lower recoil is good. Arthritis can be a pain. Place that shot good, dead deer. 158 grain cast swc gas check with 15.0 grains of 2400 is my favorite load for my blackhawk and Rossi 92.
This poll could have been better if the choice for the 357 had been a cast Keith hp vs the 44 solid. I make that choice every deer season and have never been disappointed by my 357.
Depends on the variables. Average deer size in your area, distance, etc. Given the criteria between the .357 JHP versus the solid .44, I'll take the .44.

Found this interesting article on the subject. https://www.luckygunner.com/lounge/3...lever-actions/
Your "mild" .44 is still no joke.
Never seen a deer with "Panzer MKIV" painted on his side.
I'd be OK with a .357 WFN.
If you put either in the right spot.......well it's dinner! Both are good to the task!
I like slow, fat and low report so it would be the .44
Heavy & low report rifle loads for me, 44 & 45
Went with 357 because I don't have a 44 and a hot, heavy for caliber load in my 1894C should handle any deer situation I'm likely to come across.
