About LinkBacksIs there any evidence in concerning the Cor Bon 165 gr. JHP in SD cases? I've chronographed them at 1300 fps from my 4" 629. That seems to me like it SHOULD be a good stopper.

It's a .44 Mag. Anything coming out of it should work fine as a man stopper.

Well, that's what I'm think'n too but sometimes things are not as they seem.Originally Posted by deadeye72

While there is no question about the stop ability of a 44 mag.I think it would get you in trouble fast as a self defense weapon. Having shot a lot of big[ deer/bear/and one elk]game, the 44 mag would have problems down range with dangerous over penetration.especially in a area where there were other people around. Reloads make prosecution lawyers happy. Just my 2 cents worth.

I agree...ANY .44 should be a great stopper...even low velocity with a big hole should do the trick...seems to work with the ol' .45 ACP!
Ultramax makes a .44 Mag lead load that has negligible recoil (for a .44 Mag!) and is spot on accurate. It is a 240 gr. round nose flat point. If I were to carry my .44 for SD I do believe that is what I would carry.
If you are thinking of the same Ultramax load that I am, they claim 750 fps for it. It is in their Cowboy line. I agree that it should work, and would likely be far easier on the hands than a full-power load.

240gr JHPs in mine. A HEALTHY dose of 2400 and fired up with a mag primer. The gun hardly ever leaves my home and if the BG breaks in the very least of my worries is overpenetration or reloaded ammo.

I think it should work, too. I'ts the load I keep in the speedloaders for my 629 Mountain in the unlikely event I should need it for SD or HD. I don't know of anyone shot with it, but it looks good on paper. I see no need for a full power magnum load for SD, just makes it harder for me to practice with the gun when my hand gets beat on for 50 rounds or so.

These are not reloads, they are Cor Bon. As for over penetration, that's an overrated issue and this bullet, at 165 gr. shouldn't be a problem anyway.While there is no question about the stop ability of a 44 mag.I think it would get you in trouble fast as a self defense weapon.

He meant needing to reload the firearm. Lawyers love to hear you needed more ammo.
