Thread: .444 marlin

444Marlin, 450 marlin, 375 big bore, 45/70 all are fun to shoot, all make a big hole and all come in Lever action, what is not to like....Do what I did, get the missus shooting and get a pair, oner in 444 for you, one in 30/30 for her. You can also swap from time to time just for fun....really helps if they join in..

As every lever man knows, Hornady's Leverevolution ammo changed the game for these calibers. New flexitip rounds and powder mix really boosted performance. 444 and 450 pack serious energy and would hit like a bus at close to medium range. Some interesting comment and ballistics here:

Gotta love em.... Both Marlin 336 and Winny 94 30-30s shot nice groups at 100 in this test - and this was with 2.5 - 3x scopes. I'd expect both to be averaging round 1" groups if mounted for test purposes with a good 12 - 18x with its much more precise target definition.
