I would like all responses to stay on topic. I am looking to get a 444 that was manufactured in 1982. Pre cross bolt. Gun is like new. Paying $350.00
I plan on handloaing 240 grain lead for practice. And will be loading Hornaday 265 grainers for hunting. I plan on using this gun for Elk, Black Bear and Mulies. I plan on using skinner sites and not the Buckhorn sites. And I wont be shooting past 200 yards.
Thoughts on these loads? And anyone here have a 444 they use as their main gun?
I have a Marlin 1894 in 44 Magnum. circa 1979. I think it will fill the larder just as well as the bigger 444. But this is one heck of a deal.
