Thats the way mine shoots, with Hornandy lever ammo, and with TAC powder and 240 grain XTPs.
Almost everyone says the 444s shoot good groups. My question is why can't their 1894 44 mags shoot half as good as the 444s. I am thinking it has to be with their barrel configuration. Lighter, and the barrel bands with full length tubes most play a huge part of their finikiness.
You could make the same statement on the Marlin 336's in .35 and 30-30.
Most .35 and 30-30 are 1 1/2 and 2 inch shooters with out doing so work to the bedding and barrel bands. As with any rifle platform there are always exceptions to this.
