Totally not relevant but funny - I read this title as someone shot or is wanting to shoot a moose with an AK. My mind = “hell yea, brother”

Buffalo Bore makes a fairly powerful 44spl hard cast load. Probably too much for a Charter Arms Bulldog, but good in a Smith 696. A guy could probably do a lot worse.Is a 5 round, 44 special revolver too 'small' or underpowered for a AK backcountry carry gun?
I have the S&W 396 Airlite Ti Mountain Lite... I'll have to dig up load capacity recommendations.Buffalo Bore makes a fairly powerful 44spl hard cast load. Probably too much for a Charter Arms Bulldog, but good in a Smith 696. A guy could probably do a lot worse.
Yes, I have read warning reports on this same potential issue, but I have also seen responses that suggest for this particular S&W ti revolver, that the 'caution' is a bit exaggerated. So, you had it happen to your 44 personally? Obviously, I have some trial and error testing to do on mine. Although, it may just be a good excuse to "need" a new pistolCareful getting too heavy on those "Ti" guns. I don't know about the 396, but the N Frame 329 (.44 mag) can seize up the "internal lock" system under recoil with heavy cast bear loads. If it happens, the gun is out of the fight until completely disassembled.
