How many do you fellows hunt with Leverguns in 44 Mag. ?

I recently purchased a 94 Winny (Pre-Safety

) in 44 Mag. with a 20in Barrel and have a Puma on the way with a 20in. barrel (Pre-safety also

) And your thoughts of the Leverevolution Hornady ammo in 44 mag.

Welcome aboard, Buckeye!

Never fired any Leverevolution ammo of any kind, but when I still hunted I've found that JSP rounds performed better than JHP. Jacketed soft points resulted in a swifter kill with less bullet fragmentation in the deer I killed.

I have a Marlin 1894 .44 mag. I have used the 240 gr JSP like Noah as well as some 180 gr JHPs. Unfortunately, I have never harvested a deer with it. When deer season rolls around I seem to always grab my 336 in 30-30 because of the flater trajectory and LESS kick. I have blown away a few opossums. It is kind of fun to see them explode!

In my Blackhawk I've always enjoyed LSWC these are hard cast no noted leading, I have started useing Tite group a year or so ago,milder loads but are manageable and accurate , 10gr. of Tite Group beheind a LSWC MV bout 1300fps..seems to do the trick...i can always step up to H110 if needed.
