444 Marlin.. 280gr Swift A frame

My Marlin 444 SS never ceases to amaze me.. no matter what load bullet combo I stuff in its chamber, this is normally the results. Not always.. but more often that not..



Stacked on top of 43 gr H4198, Rem brass, CCI 200 primers. Vel average around 2080..
It just works.. :lol: :lol:

That is some fine shooting. It would be a powerhouse for almost any game at reasonable distances.

Nice work. You are ready for anything in NA.

My favorite lever

That's excellent accuracy!
Good luck on your hunting!

444s seem to be pretty good shooters.
I'm running the same bullet with VV120.

Might have to give those a try in mine. What powder are you using?

It seems that all 444 Marlins are "shooters", which is why I originally wanted to get one. There are less 444's out there than its big brother, the 1895.
I believe rhe OP said he was using H4198 as his powder.
That powder works extremely well in the 45-70 version with all bullet range weights, too.

Very nice. That’s a crusher of a combo. I use a bunch of Rl7 in mine but man it darned near thinks it is a Model 70!
