.444 cast load???
Gonna load some 300 gr hard cast Beartooths for .444 Marlin shooting in a Win 94 big-bore. Was gonna use H4198.

Anyone got a suggested starting load? Or a better powder? Want a fairly stout load for elk in timber and as protection from grizzly when packing out elk.

Don't know much about .444 per se but look at 5744 powder it is very versitle with cast or jacketed bullets,handgun or rifle. Dr.C
