45-70s that work so well on big game with heavy bullets. Just sounds like it might be fun to play with the idea. With that in mind I figured Id just stick to shooting the. Probably a really expensive way to duplicate the 450 Marlin, but I've never claimed any wildcat was smart. Having been through the exercize, I'm sorely tempted to "improve" a 45-70 by blowing out the shoulders the same way. Dandy varmint loads! You would think the 180's would be even better, but they often leave that nasty old blue streak in the air and fail to reach the target. On that note, you ought to see what the wildcat will do with 240 grain pistol bullets. ANY 44 cal pistol bullet is a little too lightly constructed when the velocity climbs to well over 2000 fps. Selection of bullets heavier than 300 is still skinny, but I'm not too worried when using heavy-wall Hawk bullets. In fact it is so bulky that the normal IMR cans that usually hold a pound of rifle powder only hold a half pound of SR 4759. With that extra space and a different spectrum of powders it's possible to beat the 45-70 while picking up the extra SD, and it leaves the 444 in the dust. It is a fairly fast powder but it is very bulky so you dont have a lot of empty space in the case. It tops the 45-70 a fair bit in case capacity while really leaving the 444 capacity behind. The third gun I have is a wildcat on the Marlin, starting with the 45-70 case, bottlenecked to accept 429 bullets with the shoulders blown out to almost straight wall.
HEAVY BULLETS IN 444 MARLIN FULL
444 Marlin shoots cast bullets just fine at full throttle. Heavier than that and the choices get really skinny for the 444 while you have lots of options in 458FN. Newtire - That has not been my experience. The 429 300's have much better SD than the 458 300's, but you just can't get them moving. The biggest negative I see for the 444 is it's limited case capacity by the time you stuff 300 grain bullets in it.
HEAVY BULLETS IN 444 MARLIN PLUS
I've got both plus one other I'll describe in a moment. You need a stronger bullet for tough game and if protection is your concern, it is absolutely key! Beartooth makes the best cast bullets in my opinion, and Kodiak makes the very best bonded jacketed bullets. Personally, I dont see much point in shooting hollowpoints out of a big bore gun. Dont be limited by what the manufacturers want you to shoot. If you really want to get the most out of these lever guns, learn to reload for them. it's a brush gun and should be kept handy like one. and accurately too! Im not a big fan of scoped lever guns as I believe it defies the purpose. 45-70 with heavy cast bullets (425 grain typically) and keep them around 1800 fps or less.they will shoot through just about anything you care to shoot at. This kind of gun shines because of it's niche anyway.big, heavy bullets at modest velocity= superior penetration.
