Jim and i chrono'd the loads out of his Marlin rifle and his bellm rechamber (wished i would have had mine there!).

Marlin rifle
240XTP with 56.0 of H335 - 1800fps
240XTP with 52.0 of AA2015 - 2000fps
240XTP with ?? of IMR4198 - 2200fps
300JSP Sierra with ?? of H335 - 1850fps

14" rechamber
240XTP with 52.0 of AA2015 - 1850fps
240XTP with ?? of IMR4198 - 2000fps

Impressive results! We will continue to work with AA2015 and IMR4198 from an accuracy stand point but thought that someone else might be interested.....

Hey Mike that's not much of a difference from a full length rifle. Hmmm I wonder what it would do on chucks????

Well, after shootin chucks with the 44mag and 240 grain noslers, gotta imagine that the extra velocity from the 444 will absolutely tear chucks in half!!

I have a 14" .444 I have not chrono'ed my loads yet.I'm using 47.2grs. of H-4198 with a 240gr XTP.I'll try to this weekend. Let's see more chrono data please MSSmagnum.I'm interested

Try H322. It does very well in my 14" .444 Marling with IMPRESSIVE velocity using 300gr XTP's.

Behind 52grs of H322 a 240 gr. Win Bullets out of my 10" rechamber travels at 1627,1635, and 1685.
The average is 1649. I believe this is what the 44mag does in a 14" barrel.

Great little gun to carry then putting a deer drive on.

I created a "chart" at the Specialty Pistols site to keep track of our results. Feel fre to add you own, please use the same format.
