Who makes the hottest .44mag ammo

[dougk]

I am looking to use my .44mag for hog hunting ans was wondering who makes the fastest, heaviest .44mag ammo?

Thanks
Doug

Make up yer cotton picking mind Doug, ya want fastest or heaviest? I'm guessing it would be either Garrett or Buffalo Bore but COR-BON hangs right in there with them. There is no real advantage to fastest especially hog hunting, heavy is the way to go. Any over 300 grain .429" at 1100 fps or better is more than adequate to the job. Faster doesn't make it better.

I got to have it all... 

I have been looking for the last few hours and I found 2 options one is a Buffalo Bore 340 gr at 1425 fps the other option is from Reeds Ammo 320g Wide Flat Nose (WFN) Hard cast at 1200fps https://shop.reedsammo.com/displayProductDocument.hg?productId=436&categoryId=42

Reeds price for 50 rounds is the same as Buffalo Bore for 20 rounds.  I am going with Reeds...

Smart move. The 320 is plenty heavy and 1200 fps is plenty fast enough and Ron is a GBO Sponsor. His isn't as hot as the other mentioned which was what you asked for but it's all a person needs and as you said a lot more reasonably priced.

I have not seen prices any lower than Reeds.  I am ordering some .222 ammo from him.  He has great prices and is excellent to deal with.

I got my amo from Reed, looks great.  As soon as I get my 44 mag back I will let you know how the 44 mag shoots.

woulnd mind testing some one of these days. Im not much on allready loaded ammo but i like to compare the premium ammo. If nothing else it gives me a good refernce for recomendations.
