    I got one for my Marlin and it has shot very well for me.

    I generally use IMR4227 in my .44 Marlin with good success. I can't recall powder charge for this boolit as it is a bit heavier than my others but I generally load 22 to 24 grs. behind a 245 gr. boolit. IIRC the Mihec 434640 casts at 258 grs. in HP and around 270 solid so likely 20 to 22 grs. but check it out my memory can be defective.

    In any case, I have tried several powders but settled on IMR4227 and have no complaints with boolits from 220 gr. to 300 grs. (except the 300 gr. wouldn't stabilize in my 1:38" twist barrel but that isn't the powder's fault).
