The .444 Marlin (or maybe a Winchester) rifle is on my wish list. I've managed to acquire a set of dies and a little brass, still looking for the right rifle.

Thanks, and good luck finding your rifle.
I too have read about 357 mag/44 mag rifles not feeding spl rounds. I have been lucky in that my rifles in those calibers do feed the spl rounds. But I have experimented in loading both 38 spl and 44 spl rounds long, bullet seated to magnum lengths, to see if there was any improvement. Or really, just to pass the info along to those experiencing the feed issue. All long loaded rounds feed and shoot perfectly!
