Coming Soon: Corbon .44 Special 200-gr. DPX Report...

[Stephen A. Camp]

Hello. As soon as I can get to the range, I'll begin trying Corbon's new standard pressure 200-gr. DPX for the .44 Special. The test gun will be a 3" revolver. I suspect that people using the .44 Special as a carry gun, use this and 4" guns more than those with longer barrels.


The information on the box is said to have been from a 4" barrel. We'll see how it performs with an inch lopped off.

I am hoping that this load performs well. As .44 Special fanciers know, there's not exactly a plethora of loads from which to choose. I especially like that this is not a +P load; it should be perfectly safe in some of the smaller revolvers as well as older ones.

Best.

Will be interested in what you find out. Hope it is positive as it would be a good practical load.

Hello. Yes, I think so. It would also be something w/o the recoil of the +P loads I currently use in my 3" Taurus Model 431. We'll see how it does over the chronograph in with respect to expansion.

Best.
