...I have a Marlin 1894 44 magnum...

...it's claimed they are best suited to bullets of 240 grains or less due to the rather slow 1 in 38 rifling twist...

..****ger revolvers are 1 in 16 twist I believe...I like shooting 300 grain bullets in them...haven't tried 300s in the Marlin but have heard they won't stabilize and will keyhole...
