I had a marlin 1894 in 44mag and at 50 yds it would would make almost 1 ragged hole.I never shot it at 100yds,but I imagine it would have shot atleast a 2 inch group.That was with the winchester 240gr JHP.Only shot 1 deer with it at 60 yds,spined it complete pass thru.I regret getting rid of it,im in the process of trying to buy another,thats why im in the "lever action" forum..LOL
