A 265 gr .430” bullet load at 2,066 fps, what a joke. Even Hornady’s over-the-counter load had a MV of 2,350 fps for the 265 gr FP 444 Marlin load. Also, how many game animals have been taken at 300 yards with a 348 Win and open sights? Why not compare to a 444 Marlin loaded with a 280 gr load at 2,250 fps (CorBon load), how about a 335 gr load at 2,125 fps (that’s an Underwood Ammo Load) out at 200 yards. Showing a bit of bias towards the 348 Win in lieu of factual ballistics.
I looked at Load data and that was the fastest 265 grain load listed.
The point is the 444 loses energy fast with poorer SD and BC. It also has more of a rainbow trajectory. What’s the upside to that?
I have shown what was a typical load. Sorry your favorite didn’t show to well.
