There are also other good lead bullets and store-bought loaded ammunition

You said Ohio just started allowing the 444
In what type of firearm? Single shot or is a lever gun allowed?
If they allow a lever gun, There's a difference in Marlins. The old style(white spacer and no safety) has a 1:38 twist
A 250gr is what's need for this twist
If it's a Marlin with a safety/black spacer, it will have a 1;20 twist. As heavy a bullet as you can stand will be OK
Also. Do you hand load?

We will be allowed to use either single shot or lever action. I am leaning towards the single shot for nostalgia reasons (reminds me when I was young and that's all I had!). Also when I hunt with a single shot I REALLY take my time and aim correctly as I know I only have one shot. To answer your other question...No I do not hand load. Thanks for the response...Roger
