I have been using that same 270 GDSP over 21 grains of H110 since 1994. That is the only load my Marlin 1894 has ever shot. It is a stone killer of Whitetail deer and feral hogs. I get 1600 fps in my rifle, and cloverleaf sized groups at 50 yards.


The 44 Rem Mag is a beast in barrels over 14". 270 grs. @ 1600 fps is deffently a hammer.
