Hi , I have recently aquired an 1894 44 mag with the micro groove rifling and 20 inch barrel . I realize from better than 10 years of handgun hunting exclusively that a 250 at 1400 will kill the crap out of deer . I am looking for advice on the high velocity loadings of the 44 mag for the 20 inch carbine . I want a 250 LBT at about 2000-2100 fps for flattened trajectory . I have been a hunter and a gun nut for about 30 years so please no just get a 30-06 or 270 advice please .Win 296 or ? I appreciate any advice along these lines but I really dont want any of the "dont try to make the 44 into more than it is " type of replys .
I know that if I can drive a 240 jacketed at 1900 + fps then I can achieve 2000-2100 fps with a cast 250.
Thanks a lot Craig
PS the reason I am looking for such a load is that I casn have approximately a 3-1/2 to 4 inch high at 100 with approximately a 3-1/2 to 4 inch low at 200 yds.
