have him alse remember that if he shoots 5 boolits touching in a perfect X pattern at 100 yds that is still a 2" group.
it would be under 1/2" with a 223.
see how things are relative....

I think it is interesting that soneone wants loads to help him shoot a 44mag accurately at 250 yds. I don't make the rules but it has been my experience that it is nearly impossible to predict what loads will be accurate in a given gun for a given person even if you have the exact same make and model. If you have the same make and model with a very close serial number it might be worth a guess, but if they have lived in different places with different owners for many years I wouldn't bet on it. There's no substitute for hard work. And what is accurate? To me, a 6" group at 250 yds with a lever gun would be a small miracle although my 336 in 30-30 will get under 2" at 100 yds. Work up loads in increments while trying to keep components and technique consistent, and shoot a lot.
Sorry, just saw the correction to 150 yds. , but all the rest of the above still applies, and don't be surprised if the most accurate load is far from the most powerful.
