have had my 1894 44 mag about 10 yrs. i tried perty hard to get it to shoot better than it would. at best it would shoot 2-3" at 50y. i tried about 5 different factory loads and few reloiads. it consistently would not do better than 2-3". i finally accepted it as is-- not very accurate. well, i finally tried something that has shot well for me in other calibers--Federal. tried a grp of Federal 240 grn jhp and damn!!! Damn!!! got me a shooter!!! yeehaw!!!! hot damn i gots me a very accurate 44 mag riflr.!!!! +++++++holes near touching at 50y. 5 shot grps. 50 yds. not expecting much. in a hurry. 2 cheap walmart bags. old wood bench with some wobble in it. this thing would one hole em at 50y on a solid bench with good rest/bag, some optimism and not in a hurry. federal 240 jhp
