So...I'm looking for a projectile. Some years ago, a local old timer loaded up some 44 magnum bear loads for me. He used a 312 grn hard cast projectile with a a gas check. As I understand it, the gas check allowed him to load a near maximum charge of H110 (22 grns I believe) for a velocity of about 1600 fps (20" rifle barrel).
I can't find a 300-ish grain projectile with a gas check anywhere. I'm fairly certain he cast the projectiles himself. I don't want to get get into casting my own projectiles, but what would be a good substitute projectile for this application? (Bear protection/moose hunting out to 100 yrds. from both 20" rifle barrel or 4" revolver barre.)
