I am very interested to know about you .41,.44,.45caliber single action revolver hunters. What bullet style you prefer like jacketed or hard cast, hollow point or wide meplat? And what velocities and weights do you prefer.I appreciate all responses.

The type of bullet I use is hard cast as I want to break bones.
I use a .41 Mag on white tail.
For Elk or Moose I use a .454 or a 500 Mag.

.44mag - cheapo 240gr JHP's above a healthy dose of BlueDot, they leave my 10.5" Virginian Dragoon Silhouette at about 1550-1850fps depending on powder charge.

.45LC - 255gr all lead roundnoses and 225gr XTP's, over some BlueDot of course. Loaded to 1000-1300fps depending on my needs. Ruger Vaquero(old style)
