I've got a Smith & Wesson model 629 Hunter .44mag that shoots very tight groups with Samson JHPs and Remington any type. I get the worst performance (but still good) with the American Eagle FMJ's.
Not sure exactly what you were asking but I took it to mean what ammo works well.

I don't use it for hunting but I love my S&W 629 4"
I have the 4.2" ruger redhawk and love it. Its a tank but I carry it in a hand crafted simply rugged pancake holster no problem. As far as ammo, I make the best loads in terms of accuracy and potency
Gonna buck the trend with my ruger old army. Goin' after smaller boar (under 100 lbs.) with it using 35 grains of goex 3f and the heaviest conical I can stuff in the cylinder. I'd use the dragoon if it had better sights.
I haven't hunted in several years. My back is a mess (and after leaving work, choose not to get up early if I can help it).
But if I were going, and using a .44-
First I'd take the AutoMag, just to say I did it.
The Ruger 77/44 would be the most practical of the bunch.
The caliber isn't legal here, but I think it would be perfectly capable and would give me a really handy gun- that's my Ruger Blackhawk .44 Spl. I shoot it more than the others so I might do better with it anyway.

Me too! I got the Stainless steel "hunter" version that's factory drilled and tapped for a scope, has a SOLID cylinder (no fluts) for strength and some other small custom work all done by Smith & Wesson. Love it!
