Been out in the shed, perusing my never ending quest to get all my rifles shooting "spot on". This morning I can truthfully say that for the 444 Marlin. The first 2 shots landed bottom left of the foto. (Old stock/barrel warmers.) The next 3 shots amazed me. Absolutely no powder burns. 90mts, from over the bonnet of the.Landcruiser. Make up your oun opinion, but I'm exceedingly happy.

Bucky, when you say heavy Lee Factory crimp, what is your die setting. 1/2 a turn more? I don't know how heavy I can go if I try to adjust the crimp on my Lee dies.
