I prefer a 240 gr winchester soft point for my 44 mag. It has a wide metplat and (relatively) low cost compared to those "ruger only" custom offerings and cor-bon hyper loads. Its velocity is only about 1200fps, but that's still nothing to scoff at. In heavy calibers you want penetration so avoid the hollowpoints altogether. "Hunting loads" that offer controlled expansion or hard cast swc work well. However that "hardcast" stuff will lead your barrel over time, so buy a good lead remover.
Your Smith is NOT a Ruger, essentially what most of these loads attempt to do is make your 44 mag a 44mag+p or +p+ etc. Rather than risk breaking your gun, shoot stuff that is within saami specs and live with it, or get a bigger gun.
That corbon load sounds mighty hot to me.
