Hello all,Am new to 24 hour campfire and also to levers.Have bought a new 444 Marlin s/s xlr just waiting for paperwork to clear before picking it up.Am going to mount a 2.5-8x33 leupold in weaver one piece mounts,any thoughts on this setup(will be used mosyly on Red deer,Fallow deer,Sambar deer,rabbits,Foxes,Pigs,Goats and Roos).Made the mistake of only getting a 2 die set so collapsed the neck on 4 cases out of 25 when trying to seat bullets,does anyone have a spare neck expander die that they want to get rid of?Have only loaded 240 gn. jhp Winchester behind 47 gns of ar2207(H4198 equiv.)This should be a mild starting load around 2350 fps.How would you blokes sight in ie.inch high at 100 and for what yard zero?I know im selling the gun a bit short using these projectiles but they will have to do till i can find something better,you blokes might be interested to know that factory 444s here are $70Aus. a packet!a bit ridiculous when you can reload them for 60 odd cents.Thanks fellas,good to be here and greetings from Down Under.
