I put that up there with the 45-70 on ease of finding a good selection of ammo....
Good round, but don't see a good selection on the shelf... For my way of thinking unless you're reloading, stick with the tried and true easy too find calibers....

The 444 is a great round but like 'J' said there is no big selection of bullet designs available. Unless you reload you are stuck with just couple.
I shouldn't say it but will anyway. I always considered the 444 a stepchild to the 45-70. I feel the same of the 41 mag as a stepchild to the 44 mag. Neither the 444 or 41 mag have much of a following.
Thanks guys, also picked up a couple boxes of Remington HTP 240 gr jacketed soft points that were on sale. Hopefully they shoot well, seems like a solid option for what I need. J, Cabela's price is $669 but with the marlin mail in rebate and them price matching a local gun shop I got it for $425 [emoji41]
Wow, that was a good price... Congrats on it... I think you'll be very happy with that gun....
No, going to stick with the slug gun for at least another season... Still hoping for some more calibers too come into play before I move on it...
My goal would to have the .35 R.E.M. Become legal to use my grandfathers deer rifle...

That has been my internal debate on my Henry 44mag. It is so light and easy on recoil. . . I may have to scope it for my son to use. It would be perfect for him.
Phil, that's why I got it. I wanted the Henry but budget said Marlin lol. It's such a fun gun to shoot and also practical in the field. I think it would be perfect for your boy. It's a great gun to get comfortable with. So sorry about your dad. Find comfort in 1 Corinthians 15:52 [emoji1374]
