Went to the range with a friend trying some loads with my 444 Marlin. Man it was fun, pretty good kick in this rifle but managable I shot around 30rounds totally about half in bench and that felt a bit more in the shoulder. :D

Bullet I tried is my homecast from my Noe 267gr ( i call them 265gr its more like 275gr) RNFP, mold gaschecked bullet, sized to .432 alloy 16bhn, lube homecocked 50/50 weightratio with beeswax and molybden grease. Same bullet I use for my 44mag henry. I Dont want to publish my loads but used ranchdog published loaddata as a start. No leading and worked great.

Nice shooting Ruhler. That bullet looks like it should do the trick. The triple 4 is a fun round

That bullet sure cuts a nice clean hole in the target. Great shooting.
