Guys i got invited to TX to do some deer hunting and wanted to bring my 7.5" Freedom arms 44 mag. I am shooting the Hornady 240 XTP with 24 grains of WW296 but i havent had a chance to chrono that yet. This gun shoots lights out and zeroed at 100 yds is shooting sub 2 inch groups. I was wondering how fast the drop off would be after this point say at 125 and 150? would love to get a pig with this bad boy and if i have to shoot farther ill bust out my custom XP 100 in 260.
This seems like a fairly standard load for the gun albeit not pushing it and while i have a decent idea of what it should do (ie recommendations form a good source on here) i would love to hear what you think drops would be in increments past 100.
thanks as always,
Don

Here is a recent thread that is discussing 44 Trajectory.

The only way to know for sure is to shoot it at 125 or so. I think 150 is pushing it a bit,thats where the 260 comes in.JMO

Gary thanks that's great info and just what i was looking for it didn't show up when i searched for some reason. Much appreciated.

Don,
Although I used the Sierra 240 JHC rather than the XTP with that load & gun, the velocity was a chronographed 1550 fps. It was also zeroed to be dead on at 25 & 100 yds.
It's been years since I tested it at over 100 yds., but I believe it was about 2" low @ 125 and 8" low at 150.

Great ken yes this is your 44 I couldn't find the sierras in stock so I used the hornady and they shoot impressively. At 50 which is where I can really control the 2x scope it's tight cloverleafs and on steel it's the same mark over and over. I figured it wouldn't kill me to know what it does past 100 which is all I have had access to but I'll reconfirm before testing on game. Scary accurate gun. And I can really control the 44.
