NEI - SSK design, 310 gr. .44 cal.

You think that load will knock the hair off of em' ? ?

 

[gman]

Being its only a 44 magnum it might bounce off.

 

[35 shooter]

Lol looks like a drt just waiting to happen to me! I used to have a 4" mod 29 Smith that i used to deer hunt with some. Just with a load @ 900 fps. with a 250 keith style bullet, they never made it over 50 yds.

That's quite a hammer you have there for the 44!

Buddy,

Yes, I'm thinking a front shoulder hit with this puppy and they would be down for the count.

You will never recover one of those bullets, I am thinkin'! They'll go end to end on a large whitetail, without slowing down. They would be just the thing for large bear or moose, too!

I'm with you Dale, One of my friends said that a bullet heavier than 250 grs. in the 44 Mag. was worthless. I don't buy that logic.

I think I'll enjoy this mould and like you wouldn't be afraid to tackle anything on my side of the MS River with it ( and most of what is out there on the western side of the MS River ) .

 

[Barry in IN]

UUUmmm, this thing is heavier than I thought ? ? ?

When I saw the thread title, my first thought was to wonder what the bullets really weighed. I have the 320, and they weigh around 338 with wheelweights, so I just call it a 340.
I've read somewhere that the SSK molds were designed around lino, which would help explain things.

That 340 is great fun out of a light Ruger 77/44.

 

[Creeker]

Had one & sold it. Thing made my wrist hurt just looking at it.

 

[Will]

Those will definitely put a hurtin on the deer. I have yet to see one move after catching a 310gr lee at 1100 fps out of my Bisley Hunter.

 

[Welding Rod]

I have one of the old SSK molds for this. I use it in my S&W up north, It's my heavy penetrator load for defense. Good bullet.

 

[Glen]

I've got a stainless Super Blackhawk that is set up specifically for that bullet.
