Pop,

I sure hope you 'cut and pasted' that info instead of typing it all out. I went crossed eyed, just trying to read it all. LoL

Thanks for posting it.

Cheers and Good shooting

I've never even heard of a 444 Marlin load using 405gr bullets. Has anyone here ever shot a load with that bullet weight?

Sorry about that Seafire!
