range report on 35x444

[oldfart]

took the 35x444 out awhile this am. tried some new loads and darn thing was pleasure to shoot.
used 40 grains of h-4895, recoil was mild, report was loud as heck, pressure was medium. accuracy wasn't bad 1" group with 180 gas checked cast bullets at 75 yrds.
going to increase to 41 grains and see what they do

Here is the beast

[oldfart]

got this puppy singing music to my ears
shooting 209 grain cast pushed with 42 grains of h-322
getting sub 1" groups at 100yrds, 1" 4 shot group at 200 yrds
muzzle blast is big, nasty and load

loaded 5 with h-4895 and got close to same result with more blast

what kind of speeds you getting from the 35x444?
how long of barrel do you have?

[oldfart]

2450-2575 fps depending on which powder I use and the barrel is 16.9 inches counting muzzle brake

How does the 35x444 differ from the .358JDJ?

MJ

[oldfart]

its almost the same, less recoil, less muzzle blast

[Marlin Junky]

its almost the same, less recoil, less muzzle blast

Less powder, longer neck? Are there standardized spec's for the 35x444?
