Just started to reload the 44 mag 240 gr JSP, for hunting deer. I Plan on using this round in a Ruger44/77 bolt action. I'm using a standered Winchester primer and 23gr of the IMR 4227 power. It seems that it is not a very accurate round at 50 yds. Just wondering if any one has any ideas or suggestions on making this a little bit better (accurate)round.[:(!]

  I recall my barrel was a little oversize and I would only buy bullets that were listed as being .430 although I don't know if accuracy would have been poor if I'd bought .429 because I didn't do any thorough comparisons. I am talking about jacketed bullets. IIRC the Hornady XTPs were .430.
