Default Hornady FTX 265 grain Bullets in 44 Magnum and 444 Marlin.

I posted this at the Marlin owners forum as well but also wanted to try my luck here.

I bought a box of these to experiment with and can't find any load data. I did find one thread somewhere on the 'net from July of this year where someone was telling of a discussion with Hornady. The Hornady rep stated the 265 grain bullets were meant for 444 Marlin only.

I don't see why these would not work in the 44 Magnum 1894 Octagon I have, and possibly my pistols if they actually fit the cylinder, but of course I can't proceed without bonafide load data.

The net, several forums, my 7th addition Hornady manual, and the Hornady website all show zip. The 7th addition from 2007 actually shows nothing about these bullets for any cartridge.

Anyone know where I can find load data?

0.430 diameter, #4305, 265 grain FTX. 50 rounds were marked $27.97 + taxes, but I got them slightly cheaper.

Thanks.
