Has anyone had any experience:if the same load in my Ruger revolver will work in my Henry .44 mag rifle?

Rifle loads sometimes recommend the slower powders which don't work as well in a handgun. If I were doing it, I'd find a handgun load and use that for both. E

I shoot H110 in both my Ruger SB and Marlin 94. Same load in both. Never any problem with either.

Yep, H110. Just make sure you've got an OAL that'll feed in a Marlin reliably and isn't too long for your revolver.

I am trying H110 and Hornady 300gr XTP's, first.
My Win 94 does not seem to like them; need 1 more trip to the range.
I have not tried them in the Ruger SBH.
My rifle did not care for Winchester 240gr white box either, but the Ruger SBH did.
This rifle may not like anything, or just light bullets which will give it a new home.

I had a buddy that shot same round in a Ruger and a Marlin lever gun. He seemed to make it work. I do not know what his recipe was though.
