![]() As the best I could do with a scope no matter the load was between 2 to 2 1/2 inches at 100 yards. 44 Mag and I was not very happy with its accuracy. But wait there is my Soap Box lol kinda wobbly though lol. I have to say there has been a bunch of info posted here. I wish they would bring back these older 45cal and 50cal longer rounds in the levers, i'd love to shoot/hunt with an older cannon. I mainly hunt bear with my bigger bore guns. I hate to shoot small deer with a 405gr bullet. (things could of changed lately i have been out of touch on the 45/70. I like the 45/70 round too but i wish they offered smaller weight bullets/spec's for using lighter bullets than the 405grers. Another rib is the 444 would clear the thick woods the first shot and then you could shoot the bear in the open. ![]() My hunting buddies always made fun of my marlin 444, they said that round would kill'm and package the meat one shot. Right now i'm getting ready to bump it up to 300gr JSP's(444). With its 3,000ft lbs the muzzle i'm not afraid to go into any thick area with it. I use it when i'm in the very thick wooded areas when i'm hunting blackbear. I think overall the 444 marlin is the best "brush gun" out there. When i had my choice of getting a 45/70 or a 444S marlin i chose the 444 caliber mainly because i could use the same bullet as my 44mag for reloading.
