I have two 444 Marlin® rifles: 1966 24" barrel, and a 1988 22" barrel. Both rifles are 1:38" Microgroove® rifling. Whether the Hornady® Superformance® 265gr Interlock™ or my handload of the same bullet, accuracy is superb. That load from Hornady® is the Gold Standard against which I judge all other 444 loads.

I have zero 45/70 Gov't rifles and no plans to acquire same.
