IMO...the Hornady 200 gr fTX should work fine at 150 to 200 yards if your so inclined to shoot a pointed ripped bullet in a Marlin. I have used Hornady's .452 FTX bullet out past 200 yards with deadly results.
The soft tipped FTX Horandy bullet does upon up much quicker than the hard tipped equivalent bullet. especially the muzzleloader bullets.
