    44 spl +p loads

    Does anyone have any good 44 spl. +P loads that are safe to shoot from a mdl.696 S&W with 3" bbl. I will be carrying it as a back-up for elk hunting in a couple of weeks. Prefer 200 or 240 gr jacketed if possible. Thanks

    cast loads for 1895G guide gun

    I have been told that it is unsafe to fire cast lead bullets thru the 1895G guide gun with the ported barrel because of lead shaving at the ports. Is this true? It is the 45-70 version. Any actual experience would be appreciated. Thanks
