FTX's are well made bullets .... I've fired some in our 357 but not in our 44 .... will you be using them for range work or hunting :?:

This year I will hunt with 240 gr Sierra deep curl sp's, as my ss is locked in on them. I would try the ftx's on paper if I can find them. Somebody once posted that Henry 44 mag barrels are set up to stabilize a 240 gr bullet. Not sure if this is true or not, but they shoot better than the lighter bullets I have tried. Every gun is an experiment.
