    Using them for years for 410 shottie. they make wonderful little shotshells that with moderate care last a very longtime. Not on topic but 9.3x74R work great for 3 inch shells

    I recently picked up a 309 JDJ barrel which also uses 444 Marlin. I found out that every time I use Hornady cases (brand new) the neck wrinkles. I did not lose one RP case out of 40 loaded. Hornady worked just fine for the 375 JDJ.

    I use them for my 309 358 375 411 jdj wildcats in T/C contender. Simple, just run them into dies to reduce necks no trimming Rem brass serves me best

    Funny you should ask, I have several 308 chambered barrels and was going to thread one for my Large Martini and make a 307 and use 444 shells to form brass for it as no 307 is available down under. regards Stephen

    i have two .444 marlin rifles and one rifle in .375 JDJ, so .444 cases get double duty.

    Skeet’s,

    That link is the 8x57JR. That is a .318 bullet.

    8x57 IRS/JRS is .323 bullets.

    They are not interchangeable. Too much pressure for the S version in a non S

    Do any of you get split necks? I want to play with a couple about two inches long.

    Jim,

    What are you trying to do? I don’t have any 444. I might have some odd 7x57 or 8x57 rimmed.

    You have a 444 double rifle?! Did you build this?

    375 and 358 JDJ. Given the performance of both, with whichever bullets, I would never go back to the 375. Shooting a 14" SSK conversion of a factory T/C barrel.
    Let's go Brandon!

    Thanks Robert. We will meet up somehow not far apart.

    For those wondering I have my great grandmothers smooth bore that I would like to make a couple rounds for it. Not sure on the exact chamber, may need to cast it. I think it is a .44xl. I'll do more research once it cools down. This 110+ heat index has be only working mornings.
