They will fire fine, but how well they group will depend solely on your rifle. Many here have had great success with the Winchester White Box 240gr JHPs as well as 240gr Hornady XTPs.




Thanks, Dinny

+1 What Dinny said !
 
This would be a great time to get into reloading some .44 Magnum cartridges with some true "Elmer Keith" type cast lead bullets. If money is an issue, you could even start out with one of the Lee Classic Loaders. I've heard they turn out some great ammunition.
 
Good Luck !
