I just acquired a marlin 1894 in 44 mag. Plan on making it a woods deer gun. Going to put a low profile red dot on it. Apparently 44mag ammo is still hard to find and when you do find it, it is pricey. I found some Hornady 200gr xtp decently priced. I was hoping to find some 240gr stuff. Any experience with the 200gr xtp on deer?
