444 Marlin Loads

[Halwg]

Is anyone loading the 444 Marlin, and if so, can you recommend a good, accurate load to use on deer and black bear. I have the 444SS with the microgroove barrel.

My Marlin is 40 years old but still has the micro groove barrel. The Hornady 265 grain jfp has worked well for several of us over the years. Use the Hornady data. The new Leverevolution bullets may be worth while, but my current load works so well for so long that I'm reluctant to change.
