H110 for 44 Magnum 200 grain LRN

[Charlie Martinez]

Found a very accurate load for my Marlin 1894 using 22.3 grains of H110 behind a 200 gr. LRN bullet. Consistent one-hole 3-shot groups at 50 yards. However this is the hotest load I have shot with a 200 grain lead bullet. Would this load cause leading issues in my Marlin? And would they be safe to shoot in a Ruger Vaquero?

If I did that, I would be using a gas check bullet or more likely jacketed.

Is your caution due to pressure issues or leading issues?

I am using a gas check lead bullet from Enterprise

Leading would be the concern, but mostly I would have an easier time finding formalized load data for jacketed bullets. H110 or others at that power level are not usually associated with lead bullets.

i like 21.6 of A2400 with the lee 200 that i powder coat. no leading. i size to 429 then coat them size once more, they come out 431.5 perfect for the marlin. they seem to be moving fast and shoot good. i would like to pop a deer this year with them..
