     OTHER DESCRIPTION  Any good 44 Mag gun should handle this load. It is close to max but not over. I have seen data for 1800+ fps for 180 bullets. Easy to shoot in this big gun, awesome muzzle blast. Accurate groups, and chrony loads do not have much velocity spread - that's always a good indicator. Load is not compressed. Use a heavy crimp.
