Marlin .444 JM stamp Milton $600

[RGriff]

It is a good chambering. It's flatter shooting than the .45-70 it seems at least. But I do prefer the .45-70 for brush hunting grizzlys. What have you killed with yours Sawman?

I absolutely love this chambering. I really believe using the 300gr WFNGC (hard cast) or the Hornady 300gr XTP's this gun would get it done. I have killed some of the bigger animals with mine.
Best of luck with the sale of this great old gun sir. --- SAWMAN

Several moose. Two cows that were 600lbs or so. A bull that was about the same weight. Two black bear that were 225lbs or so. And a very nice 10pt buck that (Maine) dressed at 265lbs.
All of these were with the 300gr Hornady XTP when they first came out . . . and before that,with the 265's. Hornady origionally designed the 265's for the 444Marlin and factory loaded these for some years.
If your buyer needs any help with the weapon (loads,etc) he is welcome to contact me. Congrats with the sale. ---SAWMAN
