I have thought of trying a 444 Marlin for years, to the point of building up a good collection of j-word's in 260gr. FP and 300gr cast FP , while in a local store a new rifle picked me out a handi-rifle in 444 Marlin, so I have started researching load data my Lyman cast bullet hand book spends most of it's space telling about how short the over all length to function in the Marlin lever action a round must be , this does nothing for me they show data for no cast boolit heavier than 240 gr. I do cast this one for .44 Rem Mag. But I have found no data for all of these 300gr. boolits that I have , to me it is like they would be ideal for this rifle, I would like to find data for this round pushed by IMR4198 or IMR3031. with all the post about these rifles I am sure some one know about how they take to cast boolits and COL they will work with.
so some one educate me here
Thanks
