Default Marlin 1894 .44 mag ammo

Looking at Cabelas and SG, there seems to be more and more choices of ammo for lever action rifles. I recently received a 1894 .44 mag and am not sure what bullets to use in this gun. I tried some 240 gr American Eagles and go a group of about 6 inches at 75 yards. Can anyone tell me what grain and what ammo shoots best out of their 1894's. Also, any idea what kind of speed and KE you get from the .240 grain bullet?

Thanks
