[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 526801, member: 25383"] I used to pack a .444 Marlin with 330 grain bullets on fishing trips in bear country. I liked the gun and the 330 grain bullet just like my dentest did! But a guide was using one and got mauled by a big grizzley (I later found out the guide was using factory 240 grain loads!). I made the switch to a ported 450 Marlin Guide Gun. Now my dentest really likes that gun! But I have all the confidence in the world with it. Trying to build a load with the Speer 400 grain bullet. Last time out I was hitting 1925 fps, and it was close to a max load. I'm only good for about five shots off the bench, so it's kind of a slow process! And the blast clears out my end of the shooting range in a rapid fashion! gary [/QUOTE]
