I just bought an H & R Handi-rifle in .44 Rem Mag. I need some suggestions on how to zero the scope to be in the kill zone on southern whitetails out to
150 yds or so. I'm using 250 gr. Winchester Platinum ammo. I zeroed my Rem .270 BDL about 1" high at 100 yds and I've had good luck withit out to about 200 yds. I've checked several ballistics tables and there is very little agreement between these tables and they make no distinction between handguns and rifles.

It does increase.. Take a look into a contender loading manual...
I've got 2, 44 rifles and with a 240 grain XTP they do a number even on big bear. The last, vaporized the chest cavity interior.

i would not bother trying to shoot a 44mag (even out of a rifle) past 125yds. it starts losing power very fast past 100.

as others have said i wouldn't use it past 100yrds

Just a thought,..... it's an old load but try 21 grains of 2400 behind a 240 hard cast. It's always given me excellant accuracy and albeit a bit dirty. With your rifle, you could probable use the old Elmer Kieth load of 22 grains of 2400. They say that 2400 has gotten slightly hotter since his days, hence the reduced load of 21 grains.
