[QUOTE="GMB54, post: 4783372, member: 15365"] Im not actually a fan of 50x44 but some people have great luck with them. I just find 50x45 to be easier to get the accuracy i want. Plus there are tons of great 45cal bullets for MLs and more sabot choices. One thing to consider is that G4 is VERY light weight. I also have a VERY light weight ML called a NULA. I find shooting some of the lighter bullets faster is more enjoyable. The Barnes 45LC 225gr XPB is outstanding for this application. A little pricey and not really a long range bullet but otherwise it knocks the snot out of deer without rocking you so much. I would not get too caught up in them fancy tipped bullets. The BC increase wont mean squat for most people. If your shots are mostly under 150 yards, a better BC is virtually useless. You are better off choosing a bullet that performs as intended/designed over a wider velocity range. 3-4 of the Speer bullets do this extremely well at a really good price point. They have a few great 44cals also. Here is a list of water jug tests done by a member of a couple ML forums. The loads may seem light but they would estimate impact speeds at a distance after the bullets had time to slow. While water jugs aint no deer the comparisons are very valid.
