CFE BLK in 444 Marlin?

Has anyone tried CFE BLK powder in 444 Marlin caliber? I’m new to both and I haven’t seen any 4198 which is supposed to be the cat’s meow for the 444. I bought a pound of CFE BLK because it is supposed to be nearly the same burn rate. Thanks for your insight and responses.

I believe that this came up a while ago, I remember that there was a split on whether it would be safe or not. I know it's used in 450 Bushmaster, so case capacity may not be the issue. I believe that it was recently added to Quick Loads, so perhaps someone with a subscription to that would be able to chime in.
