I like heavy bullets in 44 magnums and 444 marlins. I had NEI make me a Keith style bullet that weighs 379 grains with gas check and grease. I used the slowest powder I thought would work at that...
4227 can be downloaded like 2400. The ball powders like 296 are the ones you need to stick to load data with.

Does this gun have 3" chambers and Invector-plus chokes?

If it is an Elmer Keith Commemorative, it is not a 29-2. If it is a 29-2, it is not an EK commemorative.

If I was new at casting for 44 caliber guns I would get sizer dies in .430 through .433. That should fix you up fine for handguns and rifles from pre-war to present.

Anhydrous lanolin from any drug store. Anhydrous just mean no water added to it. I live in a small town and the drug store didn't have it on the shelf, but ordered it for me and I had it in a few...
The reason I got the Redhawk built was because when I was on solo in survival school I was the farthest person from the base camp. In the wee hours of the morning a bear came into my camp. The only...
It was easy to clean. I just took it down with a Dan Wesson barrel tool and cleaned it from the breach end. I could also set the barrel/cylinder gap to any space I wanted. I have a Freedom Arms 44...
I once lived in the north west U.S. I backpacked and hunted in areas with grizzly bear population. I was always afraid of having to defend myself from one. I chose a 44 magnum because that was...

The trouble I had with my one and only TC 44 magnum Contender was the lug wallowed out the hole in the grip. When shot, it would not hold a group because of the wobble in the wallowed out hole for...
I should have been more clear in my reference to the second picture. I was referring to the picture posted by Outpost 75. It was described as a military and police model of the 1950 but clearly...
It may not matter to anyone else, but looking at the first two pictures of this thread, I noticed the first pic is of a 1950, but the second pic is of an earlier version of the revolver. The...

The pak-kit is a neck size only tool. You do not hammer on it. It is threaded. You simply insert the case and screw the sizer down to the barrel portion until you run out of threads. The same is...

Ohaus made most of the scales marketed by RCBS.
Make mine a 44. I carry a 44 special, but if I could only have one it would be a 44 magnum. My rifle would be a 444 Marlin if I could only have one.

I stand corrected. The Lyman third edition does have it listed for bullets up to the 429244.

Red dot in a 444? I would recommend you buy some good reloading manuals with that money and spend some time reading them before going any further.

Czy Horse, Is your "1895" Marlington 444 stamped as a "Model 1895" on the barrel or does the roll marks say "Model 444" and 444 Caliber as they always did when they were known as the 444 marlin? I...

I would strongly suggest you refrain from using round nose bullets in this rifle. In rifles with tube type magazines there is always a chance of a chain fire with round nose bullets. In the spirit...

Well, I guess I'll jump in now that the water is so murky. Mostlyleverguns got the part about what the "S" stands for right. But, was mixed up on the twist rate. All marlin 44 magnum are 1/38...
