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.

Yes, but what range and velocity are you using them at and are there limitations on power? (Range orders)

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

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!!!
240gn LRNFP, 6gns of Unique, CCI primers, COL 1.560"

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.
