The maximum pressure for the 44 Remington Magnum cartridge is the same whether you are loading for a revolver, pistol, carbine, etc.

I like H110 in the 44 magnum, haven't found anything else that works as good for me so far. They recommend using Magnum primers with this powder, tight crimps, and Hodgdon does NOT recommend "light" loads with H110. You can get loading data for H110 at www.hodgdon.com .

Hope this helps, Bill

Last night I was reading in Handloader, I think, about this subject. One of the things mentioned was a problem with some of the heavy cast bullets not feeding properly through the action of a M94 Trapper. Something about the bullets being too fat or something like that. Might want to try a few dummy rounds to be sure they'll feed.

R-West - Can I use your latest signature? :-) Sorry about the typo. I actually meant a 250 gr. Partition-HG. Do you have any experience with loads for the 300 GR. LBT or 250 nosler in .44 Mag?

You have mail when you get to the office on the 45-70. I use 200gr Hornady XTP's with 24.0 gr of 2400 in my Smith and Marlin. About 15 years ago my buddy who owns the ranch I sent you the pictures of used his Marlin same load to shoot a whitetail which was in a short range blind and all he had to shoot at was rear at about 75 yds. The bullet went in right below the tail and went out in the upper chest! When we cleaned this deer it looked as if someone had run their fist through him. This deer weighed 130lbs dressed which is pretty good for a Texas whitetail.

The only problem is the recoil with the LBT bullet, it actually casts out at 330 gr.,does shake things loose a bit, even with the winchester.

I use the same loads in both guns, all my ammo is loaded on a progressive. One good thing about these bullets is they have the same loaded length so I dont have the hassle of adjusting the bullet seater. The winchester feeds both these bullets flawlessly but the rounds are too long for the Marlin and Ruger lever actions. Which came as a surprise as the 250 gr. bullet is the original Keith design upon which the .44 magnum was designed.
