44 mag and 300 grain hollow point

[Encore64]

We're right back where we started. The bullets are too soft for the velocity you are shooting them at.

It's likely those throats are .430" if you can push the bullets through the throats, period.

When a manufacturer posts a warning as Matt did on these bullets, it's not because they're bored. It's because those bullets should be kept to the recommended velocity.

By not following the recommended criteria, the pains are self inflicted...

Yes sir u are right on lead being to soft and the warning wasn't trying to push them that fast. Thats just the first and the lowest charges that Lyman cast manual gave for powder that I had on hand at time that should have been on the money for a 5 in barrel but were quiet a bit more. I was and am still trying to find a load for them to get them around 900 ish where I can at least use them. Just though sumthing funny about them hitting card board point first then them turning on impact base left. But I kind of believe they may have been expanding on impacting. Matts said thet they left 3 in entry hole on wet paper at 900 to 1000. So probably being g pushed way over bullets will do strange thing. But I am still going to slug barrel and cylinders with some of the slugs themselves as soon as time allows. Thank everyone for there help with this. I do belive u are correct on the .430 measurements the one that I partially pushed threw other day rushing around did measure that. Just want to check them all.
