I found the same thing to be true in a pre-safety Marlin 94 carbine in .44Magnum some years back; it sure surprised me. I think I had the same program you had which sort of explained it to me. Between that and the poor accuracy (?) of the gun I sent it down the line.
I probably should have opted for the .357 but the .44 has a mystique about it, I guess.
