Best hardcast factory loads

[Nitro10Tactical]

I'm sure this has been hashed out numerous times but I haven't found the answer so I'm asking again.

I got invited to join a few buddies who drew spring bear tags here in WA. I am not hunting, just going to spot for them and help pack meat. I had planned to take my .44 mag along but don't own a good holster for it and the thought of packing a 7 1/2" Ruger Redhawk many miles with a backpack on doesn't sound appealing. I've decided I'm going to pack either my EAA Hunter or my STI Nitro 10 Tactical 2011 as I have quality chest rigs for both of them.

My problem is that in terms of hunting rounds I have only ever shot the 180 gr Federal Premium bonded jhp's.  In my .44's I have always used a 300 gr wfn and I'm leaning towards hardcast wfn's in either of my 10's as my only use will be to end a possible rodeo with a wounded bear in the brush and I think I want the penetration of the wfn for that.

The hunt is coming up in 3 weeks and due to work scheduling I don't have time to work up a good load before I leave. So what factory loads would you guys recommend for my uses?

I plan to order probably 2 boxes each of 2-3 differnt rounds, decide what the gun likes best and order in another 100 rds for this hunt and to have on hand.

Either Underwood or Buffalo Bore would be good choices, you can look up what they were loaded with in the Pull-Down sections here

Morning Nitro,
I think the below Underwood 220 hard cast flat nose would be a good option
Be safe on your trip

220 Gr Underwood has worked great for me.

Yep, and is serious thumper to boot, no shortage of knockdown power

I carry Doubletap 200hr HC and feel it has a small edge on the other due to its larger frontal area.

Lean toward Mt10mm point of view on this one. 

If your pistol can handle them, I like the .33 meplat on the Double Tap...  Think the UW & BB meplat come in closer to .26 and .28
