Those 200gr XPB shoot pretty well out of my old man's older 1-38 twist 444 Marlin.

Lehigh Defense makes lighter ones.

Not long ago, I picked up a really nice Browning 92, a bucket-list rifle for me. It turned out to be a big disappointment as a shooter. A collector-type bought it.


I've not used them in 44, but I'm a big fan of the Lehigh 95 grain XD through my Henry 327 carbine. Chronoed 1730fps at the muzzle with Alliant 2400 they'll touch holes at 50, and they do some nasty work on water jugs and wet paper. Haven't shot any game with them yet, but I wouldn't hesitate to plug something up to deer size at short range with it.
