bigmuleyfan Report post Posted May 30, 2021 My Dad bought these not paying attention to what he was getting. They are for a .444 marlin not a 44 mag. He bought 4 boxes of 50. Would like to sell as a lot. Will ship them. Asking $175 shipped for the four boxes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FourthHorseman Report post Posted May 31, 2021 What makes them "for a 444 marlin and not a 44 mag"? Honest question. I always thought that 444 and 44 used .429 diameter projectiles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigmuleyfan Report post Posted May 31, 2021 The overall length because of the bullet makes them too long for just about any 44 mag. Diameter is correct but just to long. There are a few people who say they can get them to work in a 44 mag but involves trimming the case short and such so overall length stays short enough. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, exactly what the Hornady reloading manual says to do, shorten the case to a predetermined length when using FTX bullets. States the ogive is to long and will interfere with chambering if the case is not shortened, which also reduces case capacity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
