1. 629 accuracy

   I loaded some of these 240 gr .430 " up with Longshot, I think 3-4" groups of 6 out of newer 5" bbl 629 classic at 50 yds consistently. If I can do this with open sights suspect they are capable of 1/2 this size or better. These are the best coated bullets I've found so far for 44 mag. There is some residue left in bbl after shooting 50 or so but not much and it can be removed easily in one or two passes with copper choreboy wrapped around an old brush. 4 stars instead of 5 because of residue but again, these are the best coated bullets for 44 mag I've found.
   
   If shooting a Ruger check your throats, .431 sized seems to provide the best accuracy as all 44 mag Rugers I've owned, have oversized cylinder throats ~.431-.432. Excellent accuracy when sized to .431 in a recent Ruger Super Blackhawk hunter. I do not know exactly why throat lead/coated bullet must match throat size so closely for best accuracy, however, my theory is if throat does not match (non jacketed) bullet size gases leaking by base of bullet cause erosion on the rear of the bullet differently each time and this effects the bullet when it leaves the muzzle.

3. .44 Caliber 240 SWC Bullets

   Just finished loading my first box and have shot most of them. Using them in 44 special loads and reduced power 44 magnum loads. Bullets look good, are uniform, and shoot well. Occasionally I see an uncoated groove, but it doesn't seem to affect performance. It is nice to get the lead off the fingers. Just ordered another box. JW on 24th May 2017

4. Best 100 yard 44 magnum rifle groups!

   Quality and finish are top notch on this bullet. I ladder tested and fired groups from a 17 inch Handi Rifle with a 4 power scope.
   
   Winning load 23.5 grains H110. Collet crimped in the crimp groove. 1890 fps and a 3 shot 1.78 inch group at a 100 yard indoor range from a single point rest. This is very repeatable and the shots clustered from 23.3 to 23.7. JB on 22nd Nov 2016

5. First Time Loading Bayou Bullets

   I loaded 50 0f these bullets for 44 Mag with 21 gr of H-110 which should be pushing around 1150 fps had zero leading in my 6 1/2'' S&W Md 629. Was very impressed, will load the 357's in a day or so and see how I like them, will defiantly be ordering more in the future! Tom Gautreaux on 17th Feb 2016
