New Marlin 1894 owner here. Can I safely load Win .44 Mag JSP in the rifle? Or do I need flat nose bullets. Thanks, Scott.

Should be able to. I shoot WW box, and hand loaded. XTP bullets as well as some hand loaded swc's.

If you can't, I've been doing it wrong - for a long time...

For factory ammo, I actually prefer the Winchester white box SP's in the lever gun.

I am a fan of the Lever Revolution stuff for factory ammo.

WWB ammo is generally seen as very good ammo though I load my own. More than 1/2 of what I shoot is JSP and then about 1/4 JHP and 1/4 cast.

Some general info:http:

Hope that helps
