it is obvious to most people that most full house 44 mag loads are just way too much for SD because of the over penetration issues.
My question is as follows: You have the ability to shoot slow moving (800-900fps)44 mags along with a 300 grain weight bullet for SD, why do so many people opt for the much smaller grain weight bullets for there SD?
I understand it in the 44 special because of the shorter cylinder length.
I don't understand it in the 44 mag.
What am I missing or what are the reasons for carry the small bullets in 44 mag. for SD?
I am asking because I always carry a 357 for SD, but recently I acquired a 44 mag and I am considering a carry load for it.
