Loaded with the same 240-grains ball of the .44 Magnum cartridge, .444 Marlin offers similar ballistic performances on vastly extended ranges, thus more akin than its predecessor to be chambered in hunting calibers, particularly on lever-action guns for which it has become an international standard ever since it was first launched in the mid-1960s. It may not be immediately obvious, but careful observation may provide you with the information for which you are looking. Back then, most lever-action hunting rifles were chambered in .44 Magnum, and hunters were starting to realize that while lever-action designs were versatile and fast enough for the task at hand, the .44 caliber was lackluster in terms of ballistics and stopping power for most hunting situations.
