Can ya still get .444 rifles and brass? I'd thought that one was dead long ago.
From everything I hear, Real rifles start with, "45"
Keep em coming!

Hi,
real rifles start with 45 only in black powder!
Oh, my mistake
Guess your correct, the H322, IMR 4198 and the other stuff I loaded last night was black.
I stand corrected.

HI.
IF THEY WORK WITH HOLY BLACK THEY GOTTA BE GOOD.
HI,
GEE, I have not tried that!
Lets see maybe a 44-50-265? black powder in a 444 ?

hornady 265 over 45.3 of imr 4198. rem nickel brass and cci lg rifle.
lee 310 gr gc wheel weight alloy over 47 gr of varget. same brass and primer
I have shot the 265 over some 2f goex black. accuracy was decent. I imagine the 310 grainer would be better.
starline now has 444 brass,
15.0g of Green Dot under a 240g Berry's Plated Hollow point was scary accurate in a Winchester lever gun a had a while ago. They say not to run that bullet over 1250 fps but I had no issues with fouling or accuracy and no doubt 15g of G/D was faster than that.
When dealing with islam one should always ask themselves: "What would Leonidas do?"
275gr ranch dog 41gr rel7
275gr ranch dog 40gr h4198
I've always wanted a 444 but the impossibilities of getting brass has stopped me. Now that star line is making it I may take a look at it again especially with some really heavy boolets...

This is for Australian shooters wanting a light accurate load--15 grains AP100 and NOE 265 gr hollow point- sized .432 --lubed with Jakes 50/50 will put 10 shots into 2 inches at 100 yds, has little or no recoil
444 plinker load 240 gr blem xtp or MP 503 clone atop of 46 gr H4198 both shoot great out of 444s. Win LRP and Sellier Bellot LR 5,3 both work great with these loads.
My 444 aka 44-56WC loves as much 3fff under a 220gr RN cast !!! She barks like a "Real Rifle" Ol Deuce
Do the Best with What you have !
Just been working up a load with 431244 that DUTCHMAN passed on to me in a bulk buy. It bumps down to load and feed in 444 with surprising repetivity. Have to fine tune for Marlin but good enough vibe so far to take all my fallow this year for under $10! Scope is 2-7 x 35 Burris E1 etched reticle is standing up better than a a fine crosshair. Been juggling between pointblank online and Burris Reticle analysis. I was guesstimating 2250 but traj. is more suggestive 2400fps. Anybody got a quick load data. Barrel is Ballard 21 1/2".
