[QUOTE="DC219, post: 5791599, member: 21499"] I recently purchased a Big Boy Steel Carbine in .44 mag. The rifle is beautiful and the action is very smooth, but jury is still out on accuracy. I scoped it and shot a variety of factory ammunition. The only one that was accurate enough to hunt with was the Hornady 240 grain xtp. The leverRevolution and Buffalo bore loads shot terrible. I handloaded about 7 or 8 different loads and found three that seem to have good possibilities. After reading what is typical accuracy for .44 carbines, I definitely had to adjust my expectations and would be happy if I can get it to shoot 2.5 inch groups at 100 yards consistently. It has printed several groups under 2 inches, but then will inevitably throw an inexplicable flyer. I’m confident that I’ll find a load that shoots decent, but it’s definitely finicky. [/QUOTE]
