nope but if your a handloader and caster the ballisticcast 340 lfngc has two crimp groves and seated in the deaper one will run fine through a marlin. Problem i have had is more with accuracy with the big bullets in them. Every one ive had prefers 240-250 grain bullets.

your best bet would be to contact dave clements and see if he can rebarel one and tune it to feed the longer ammo. I wont be cheap though as rebarelling is about as much as a new gun  http://disc.server.com/Indices/107438.html

Paparock - if your only concern is whether the 1:38 twist will accurately stabalize the heavy 44 caliber slugs then rather than re-barrelling, which is unnecessarily expensive, just firelap the darn thing and it will shoot fine.  Go to the Beartooth Bullets website and read what they do with 444 Marlins and the 1:38 twist and you should be able to see that the twist rate won't matter with the havy slugs.  HTH.  Mikey.
