Is anyone loading the 225gr HornadyFTX's with H110 or 2400 for the Marlin 1894 44mag? If so what is your pet load for this round in this firearm? I have good loads worked up with 200gr bullets and 240gr bullets but kind of struggling to find the sweet spot for this particular Bullet. Thanks for any info
 
Been gone for a while but logged in today and saw this. Yes I have loaded them for a friend. I wasn't impressed with the numbers. I don't have the specific load but I used W296 at about 21 to 22 grains. The velocity was 13 and a half to 1400 fps. I would rather have my Sierra 210 gr JHC over 26.5 grs of 296. That should be going down range at close to 2000 fps in your gun.
