I bought my .444S Marlin new in 1981 (pre-cross bolt). I run a Leupold M8-4X with QR mounts on this rifle and use .265 FP Hornady bullets pushed by H-335 powder. If I did not reload, I would use .444 Marlin .265 gr. InterLock� FP Superformance� ammunition exclusively.
I read on the Marlin Owners forum that the Hornady FT ammunition case length is shorter than standard 444 cases. If so, this is just another reason for me to avoid that stuff. CP.
