[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1214713, member: 10755"] Have been using a 44Mag carbine for 2 decades, on pigs, goats and even foxes. Not allowed to use it on deer here. Mine is a Rossi 92 stainless with 16" barrel. I have a set of XS Ghost ring sights, hits at 200yrds are possible, but the trajectory is somewhat rainbow in shape. Somewhere around 150yrds is a better max distance. I use the standard load that Winchester and other factories use in their 240gr loadings, 24gr of 296 and a Speer Gold Dot SP. My rifle produces around 1775fps with this load, Winchester factory 240gr rounds produce 1800fps or thereabouts. I have found a very firm crimp is necessary to keep velocity consistant. I had trouble with misses until I realised the powder wasn't burning correctly. Cheers. gun) [/QUOTE]
