Thread: 357 and 44 mag for deer?

I think they still do, their website changed quickly after that day last month.
As I was checking their arrival dates, then next minute gone.
But looks like they arrived as shelves at Reloaders and Serious have them.

People still do it. No point elaborating but just last year Nov on a trip I wrote up on here, I watched a highly competent young person head shooting fallow and goats with her new Magnum Research .22 WMR semi. 40gr jacketed lead hollow points. Yes I was a bit sniffy at first but kept it to myself... are you sure???... but knowing these people I thought it was unlikely to be a shitshow... It was actually very impressive. Surgical even.

@hotbarrels, could you pretty please do me a few closer pictures of the can, threading, mag shortening etc? Don't mind setting up email via PM or what have you? It appears to be an eccentric can?

I wondered about that. the ones with the safety I thought were coming from Gun City, which was bringing them in from United States (who get the safety ones for lawyer reasons) Whereas Ampro were bringing them from Rossi in Brazil, with no safety. I will ring them on Friday.

I posted some up before on another discussion located here https://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co....tml#post769961

If you need anything more specific, let me know.

Despite the fact I have a 303 in the mill for a Bush pig.

The idea of a 44mag with a 16" barrel suppressed just really has a itch that must be itched.

Being that alot of my hunting is sub 100 I can see my 308 being left at home alot actually.

Great info as per usual team!!!

There was a Ruger 77-44 in the New Plymouth H&F today if anyone is interested?

From past experience I wouldn’t bother suppressing a 44 again,hard to quieten with such a big hole in the end,my dpt one didn’t make a great difference sound wise unless shooting subsonics
