I'm sorry, it's the 444 Marlin. Marlin introduced it in '65 and is one of the reasons that the 45-70 made a comeback.
A page from my Brophy's book. Hopefully it is readable.
Edit: not sure why the one pic showed twice.

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
For Christmas, I got a 500 rounds of Extreme .45 220gr. bullets. I figure I can use them in BB 45 colt and the Ruger Black Hawk with the spare cylinder in 45ACP. I also can use them in my EDC S&W 1911.
I just finished up tumbling a bunch of brass a couple of weeks ago. Just waiting for the weather to clear up. I am no RR. I don't want to shoot in your teeth North wind at below 0 temps. Thank-you.

Nothing fancy today. I just out together some 45 Colt loads to finish up this Alliant Bullseye powder. I've had several different powders sitting in the cabinet, forever, with less the a pound in the container. I just want them finished up and gone. It was either this of put them in the garden for fertilizer.

I loaded 50 rounds of .243 Win. for the Long Ranger. 38.0 grains of RL 15 pushing a Sierra 85 grain HPBT. That rifle really likes this load.
Here they are as a couple!!

Need to feed the Savage, so I loaded 50 rounds of 7mm-08 Rem. I like the Sierra 120 gr. ProHunter and use 40.0 gr of H4895. Velocity and terminal performance is great for whitetails.
You can see a couple of left over red tipped Nosler 120 gr. BTs in the rear. I use the same powder and charge with those. They are also great shooters, and I go to them when the Sierras are scarce (because they're more money

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
don't know if you are aware of Shooter's Pro Shop .... they sell Nosler's "Blems" .... their bullets that might have a blemish in their finish .... I've used them for years and don't ever recall being able to see the blemish .... as you can see in the link below, their prices are very reasonable .... if you are interested you can get on their mailing list and they will notify you when they have them in stock
