Anyone shoot the 44 cal 210 mil ?

My small statured niece is going to hunt this year looking for something low recoil that shoots good still.

Not the same bullet but I just tried their 165gr Maximus bullets in my smokeless. I couldn't get them to shoot good. At times they were hitting the cardboard sideways!

Sounds like a twist rate problem?

I tried some 250 grain Maximus with a green Harvester crush rib sabot in my Knight. The bullet box says Barrel twist 1-24 or faster. My knight is 1-28. They were given to me and so I thought I would try them. They hit the target sideways.

Twist is fine. I believe it's a powder issue, found out after the fact that N120 likes heavy bullets. I also only tried a few different loads, it's possible with much more experimentation something would have worked out. For comparison, 250gr Fury bullets groups were touching at 100yds.
