    A couple others that I own and work great are the MP WFN and the MP Larsen designs.

    For a lever gun, RNFP and TC shapes are generally a safer choice with respect to feeding.

    For general shooting, a 200 gr to 220 gr is a good choice.

    For hunting, I would move up to the 220 gr to 240 gr range.

    Here is a powder coat 240 RNFP. This vendor has lots of other choices. Prices are pretty good.

    Here is another 240 available in 0.428" or 0.430" with traditional lube at $70 + ~$20 (S&H) for 500.

    This is my preferred option an MP 640 hp mold and my second choice is a swc with a good sized meplate. Click image for larger version.

    For me I like the Lyman / Thompson SWC Gas Check 255gr. Works well with 44 special cases (length feeds well) and the Handloader 44 Special +P data. I like 2400.
