Bullseye and 44 mag???

[Moondawg]

:?:I have looked at most of the loading manuels and found nothing. I am looking for a 44 mag rifle load, using bullseye, and 200-205gr LRNFP bullets. Something in the 1000-1100 fps range and accurate to 100 yrds. I will be shooting it in a Marlin Mdl. 94. Has anyone had any experience with this combination?
Thanks,

Not with the 44mag but I use Bullseye in my 41 mag 14" Contender. 6.6 gr of Bullseye has an MV of about 1150 fps. Your 94 should be similar

I have used BE for many years and now use Tightgroup in the 44 mag revolvers with the Saeco #420 200 gr tc bullet from 5.5 to 7.0 grs of powder @ 800 to 980 fps . same load with either powder. These loads have been shot through at least 8 different 44 mags and has proven to be accurate from all , but it doesent quite keep up with the 240 gr bullets accuracy wise at 100 yards from my handguns . the most accurate 240 + gr bullet ive come across for 100 yard shooting is the RCBS 240 gr gc sil boolet.
But my go to bullet for 99% of my shooting is the Saeco #420 with loads from 800 to 1200 fps .

As mentioned, 6 - 6.5 gr Bullseye in magnum cases under a 200 gr bullet. Probably your best accuracy will be in the 1000 - 1050 fps range depending on the bullet and the barrel length.
