Which is exactly what I was sayin' in my post above yours. This is not only true in the Nosler recipes, but in all of my other reference manuals also. Hornady,

Dunno about newer editions, but the Hornady #4 most definitely has different load data for .44 Mag Rifle and Pistol...
One example is 265gr FP bullet(#4300) loaded with 2400:
Rifle : Min 16.2gr Max 20.4gr
Pistol: Min 16.9gr Max 18.7gr
Same bullet, but with H110:
Rifle : Min 18.3gr max 22.2gr
Pistol: Min 21.2gr Max 23.4gr

Since both are built on actions intended for the same SAAMI bullet specs, loads safe for one are safe for the other.
|
SAAMI specs for .44 Mag Rifle and Pistol are not the same...
Pistol groove is .429", and Rifle groove is .431"...

I much disliked my Marlin lever gun because it sprayed lead all over the county. Keyholed at under 25 yards.

Marlin carbines need at least .431" lead...
