[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 1994948, member: 26077"] I did not say you can shoot Ruger 1 loads or even Bolt gun loads out of a 444 Marlin Lever. What I said is the Marlin lever is stronger than any BREAK action single shot. I also said that even a a Ruger or a Bolt gun you cannot upload a 444 enough to make any realistic performance difference over what you can get out of the Marlin lever and that there was a poor selection of bullets in 444. There are no spire points I know of outside the FTX, which doesn't perform that great even at Lever speeds, so what is the advantage to running a traditional 444 bullet 400 FPS faster. In fact most of those bullets won't perform well at higher speeds anyhow. Certain cartridges are best used as originally designed and the 444 is one of them. There are FAR better choices to make a bolt gun out of like the 450 Marlin 458x2, 350 Legend, etc. . [/QUOTE]
