44 Mag Lever Action Loads
Does anybody have any load data for 44 mag loads? Looking for info on 200gn RNFP in a Marlin. (18.5" barrel?) Preferably Viht powder.
It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end!

Re: 44 Mag Lever Action Loads
Yes, but what range and velocity are you using them at and are there limitations on power? (Range orders)Mike357 wrote:Does anybody have any load data for 44 mag loads? Looking for info on 200gn RNFP in a Marlin. (18.5" barrel?) Preferably Viht powder.

Shooting at 25yds, 200gn boolits and no range limits that are applicable.

Re: 44 Mag Lever Action Loads
Got a load that I've been using for the last 10 years in my Marlin. Rested, will give one ragged hole at 25 yards. Rob tried the same load a couple of years ago in his Marlin and I believe he got the same results.... But, it's not with any of the components you mention!!!

In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Re: 44 Mag Lever Action Loads
the above load is a proven one,some of the fdpc lot use that,ule have no probs there....a few on the gr circut are using or trialing gm3,that while very affordable is having mixed results. personally i use 4.9 gn american select with a 240 l rnfp,its widely availible as a bullet,just ask mel at one of the gr events.
