Well, I went and ordered 1k round of 44 magnum as well as 1k rounds of 475 Linebaugh brass. Both will be used in Freedom Arms revolvers so.... id like to hear some of your best loads.... bullets, powder, primers etc..... looking forward to pulling the triggers on both of them  |

CMH.... in the Freedon Arms M-83 ,44 Mag, the Sierra seated over 23 to 24 grains of 296 or H110, preferably with mag primer, should be good enough to punch turkey heads at 150 meters, once you flap a scope on your five-shooter. Likewise, the same bullet over 21/Hercules or Alliant 2400, or 23 to 24 grains of IMR or Hodgdon 4227. All loads mag primed. Brass with these loads in you M-83 should last a long, long time.
Fact is, the artistic .44 Magnum shoots all sorts of loads extremely well.

David lists my 3 choices and other excellent loads I have shot in various .44s including the FA 83. The Sierra bullet cited is the 240 gr. JHC.
In the .475 L, I prefer the Hornady 400 gr. XTP, or a hardcast .476 420 gr. WFN, either driven by 25 gr. H-110, and CCI 350's. These .475 L loads are for the large bears, bull elk, and the various species of buffalo / bison, etc.
