Gentlemen; I have had come into my possession some of the Hornady .430 265g FTX bullets and was considering using them in my wife's .44 mag Marlin 1894. In order for the rounds to feed properly the cases need to be trimmed to 1.1 of an inch, when seated appropriately for crimping about .5 of an inch of bullet extends into the case. I realize the bullets are listed for the .444 Marlin on the Hornady website.
Is it prudent to attempt to load these or should I stick with the 240g Hornady XTPs I also have on hand?
Thank you in advance for your comments. GRF
