    CFE BLK in 444 Marlin?

    Has anyone tried CFE BLK powder in 444 Marlin caliber? I’m new to both and I haven’t seen any 4198 which is supposed to be the cat’s meow for the 444. I bought a pound of CFE BLK because it is supposed to be nearly the same burn rate. Thanks for your insight and responses.
    Bullseye is the skill, everything else is just games.

    I believe that this came up a while ago, I remember that there was a split on whether it would be safe or not. I know it's used in 450 Bushmaster, so case capacity may not be the issue. I believe that it was recently added to Quick Loads, so perhaps someone with a subscription to that would be able to chime in.

    there is Lots of Cast and jacketed load info out there

    What bullet are you shooting for a Start ?

    are you looking for Mild or WILD ?

    Check old reloading info Speer / lyman etc ..... even different editions show different Data

    Ps
    CFE BLK not shown in the Lyman # 4
