<ty>444 marlin
can anybody suggest a good powder for the 444 marlin?I tried reloader-7 with WLR primers
and my groups? or pattern was terrible.I am loading a 240 hornady xtp.I'm shooting a rechambered 14 inch 44 mag contender
any help would be appreciated

JTTY,
I don't have a contender, But my rifle really likes h4198 and that bullet. I got the load data directly from the hogdon sight. Hope this helps.

Magnum MikeI have used (and still use) AA2015 with EXCELLENT results! The load i am shooting is a Nosler 240jhp, 53.0 AA2015, Rem cases with a WLR primer. Sub MOA 3 shot groups at 100 yards from my OTT rechambered 444. I am now workin with a 310 gas checked bullet (that i cast meself

) and and impressed with the initial results. I believe that there are a few shooters on the Specialty Pistol board (link below) that have rechambered barrels....

JulesDon't pass on H322. It's good stuff in the triple 4.

Albert T. TomblinTY- I use H-322 also with a 300gr JDJ design cast bullet in my rechambered 14" Contender and it shoots rather well, 1 to 1 1/2 inch groups.
