I don't know if the Taurus is capable of taking the pressure that this load developes, but Buffalo Bore 300gr JFN is a devastating hunting round.

For target shooting, Start with Remington 240gr, they are decent, good priced target ammo.

Stick with factory loads, don't get into +p or +P+ loads. Taurus quality is sporadic, they have a lot of problems. They do have a lifetime warranty, but so many of them are in for repairs that turn around time is terrible. Last one I sent in for repair took 3 months round trip, and when I got it back, it failed on the first time out. I repaired it myself rather than face another 3 month wait and sold it. We also received a shipment of their .357 mag revolvers one time at the shop with the cylinders mis drilled. On the other hand I have seen some of their stuff that turned out to be excellent. I hope you are one of the lucky ones. Use .44 special for target practice and the firearm will last longer, and you will be able to shoot it longer with out getting tired or sore. The most accurate factory ammo I used for hunting in .44 mag used to be 200 grain semi jacketed soft points by Remington. But since I only hand load anymore, I'm not up on factory stuff.

You can fire .44 Special rounds through the gun. Recoil will be like a .22 in the massive handgun.
The Remington 240 gr. 44 mag round is pretty good up to deer sized animals. I never went after anything larger with my 44 magnums, so I won't presume to advise you there.
I had one of the Raging Bulls in .454 mag. They are a quality handgun and a blast to shoot (pun intended).

The only reason there should ever be any copper touching the grooves would be a gas check. Cheap 44 Special loads abound for plinking and playing around, and hard-cast Keith style bullets of 240-300 grains are widely available for hunting. I can't recommend any brands since I've loaded my own for ages.

Lead SWC bullets are cheap fodder for the range and 180gr JHP's are for light varmints etc. 200's for Antelope / Whitetail deer and 240's for Mulies. 300gr. Cor Bons or the heavy Buffalo's will take Elk and Bears nicely. Your Raging Bull will handle any factory loaded ammo out there so go forth and shoot !

You should have thought about that, BEFORE buying the weapon, not as an afterthought
