My wife bought me a Marlin 1894 in 44 Rem Mag for my birthday - isn't she great?
I'll reload for that and have been doing some research on load data for that caliber. It seems a lot of data is for use of that round in pistols and not sure if the data applies for use in a rifle.
One thing I've seen is that a lot of people like H110 powder but that it's 'finicky', that it has problems on the low load end and other issues with the powder and to be cautious using it.
What is the problem that this powder has in this caliber?
I don't want to have stockpiles of powders sitting around and would like to just use one powder. From the cautions I read on H110, I'm considering using IMR 4227 (but have seen good comments on 2400, Unique and Lil'Gun). It'll produce slight slower speeds but I'm willing to live with that. I'll probably use a 240 gr XTP bullet with a moderate to firm roll crimp and a magnum primer.
Comments welcome and thanks in advance.
