I'm looking to put together some easy shooting (7-800 fps), dead soft lead 44 special loads- hollow points if possible.

Is there any difference choosing between the two? Accuracy? Performance on game?

Does anyone have a good source for either?

Believe this means swaged. A SWC shape in .430".

Maybe something I'd try in my Bulldog and Vaq Sheriff.

I have some for my 32 and 41 but I haven't had a chance to shoot them so I can't speak of their performance downrange. www.gtbullets.com
