Regardless of if or when the new "Marlin" production brings back the dropped calibers, none of the new guns will actually be Marlins made by the old century plus Marlin Arms Co. The new guns may look and feel the same but the thought they are not true Marlins would bother me till I'm gone.
If you don't have a 444 Marlin, you are missing out on a fabulous pig gun.

Sounds kinda like "we have to pass the bill so we can find out what's in it" to me. Sorry to hear they're having so much trouble. I'll buy an older used Marlin when it comes time.

Really enjoying my 444 purchased from a CF member last year.I used to have a Micro Groove many moons ago and sold it but this newer one shoots anything I put through it...right now loading and shooting 310gr cast bullets and they work super.Probably have to go snag a few more bags of brass ASAP before they disappear.Just a few pics...BTW did I mention how much I enjoy mine! grin

The tighter twist and the ability to use the heavier cast bullet really wakes up the potential of this cartridge.

That Lee bullet is probably good for anything that walks this continent.

Regardless of new Marlins being made in 444 or not, the ammo and nrass will not dry up overnight, maybe not for decades, many contender , encore ., NEF/H&R, rifles and barrels have been and will continue to be made, plus the myriad of wildcat and custom cartridges formed fro the 444 insure that someone will supply brass for years to come, there are also other cases that can be reworked to 444 as well, FEAR NOT!

I just went out and hugged my 1980s vintage 444, just because...

Good idea. I inherited my father's .444 and think quite a bit of it. Glad that I bought reloading dies.

If you're afeared of case loss just order a few thou right now.

x57 and '06 cases can be used IF you know what you're doing with the trimmer...just be sure the case length is about 0.005" short of the chamber end.

My 444 don't allow none of that hugging foolishness...it's all macho and don't wear no frilly drawers, grin

No panic required.

Flyboy, I can't see your scope in the picture! laugh
How can you kill a deer without a scope? I've been thinking about buying this Lee mould and loading it for my Ruger SBH and my 788 44 magnums. Are you using anything special regarding alloy, sizing, lube, etc.?
