RR It seems these rifles often have their own personality. My rifle love 240 gr bullets. The difference between 240 specials and mags at 50 yds is about 2" in height. But 180 gr slugs fly high by a mile.

My buds big boy loves the 180's. So who knows. I say try a few different loads and shoot what it likes the best.

The Hornady's shoot well but don't feed well in mine. They are just a tic longer than most 44 cartridges.
