I haven't tried 200 grainers in the .44 mag, but I use a 240 gr Carroll cast SWC with 5.0 Accurate Arms N100 powder. Remarkable accuracy out of my 94 Trapper and although I haven't chrono'ed it, it can't be doing much over 1100-1200 (data gives 826 fp at 4.5 gr for 7.5" barrel). No leading at all. Their 2000 Guide lists the 200 gr bullets at 4.7 gr N100 for 911 fps, same barrel . I had to up the listed load for my bullet a mite (+0.5 gr) for accuracy and good seal, but it still gives real low pressure signs and is VERY clean. Hodgdon also has some loads listed for their powders.
