Howdy all,
I'm still new to the exciting world of .44 Magnum / .44 Special and I have a few questions.
But first ...
* The gun is a SW 629 4"
* I have no interest in hunting with it
* I can't seem to find a large selection of ammo locally
* Big revolvers are cool
1. For personal protection in the woods against whatever might wish to do me harm, am I better off with 210 GR Silvertips or 240 GR SP (Remington)?
2. With the shorter barrel, are there any loads a should avoid (how much is too much or does it not matter)?
3. How do the .44 Special 200 GR Silvertips stack up (.vs other .44 Special loads) as a self defense round?
Thanks!
