Bullets No. 429336, 429348, and 429220 cut clean, full-size holes in the target. The weight of the powder charge and bullets in grains and the accuracy of the various loads fired from 6½-inch barrel are about as follows:
| Bullseye Powder | Bullet | Diameter of Circle Enclosing Group of 10 Shots | |||||||||
| 20 yds. | 30 yds. | 50 yds. | 100 yds. | 200 yd. | |||||||

These various loads adapt this shell to almost any conceivable requirement in revolver shooting.
Figure 44.
The .44 S. & W. Special is the latest and most powerful of the .44-caliber cartridges. It equals the .44 S. & W. Russian in accuracy and is the best proportioned of the heavy revolver cartridges. The reduced and gallery loads of the .44 S. & W. Russian will give equally good results in this shell.
