Can the 44 magnum cartridge be shot in the 444 Marlin handi rifle? Charlie

It may work, but it wouldn't be a wise thing to do considering the difference in case head size, I wouldn't recommend it.

Being the 444 marlin is almost an inch longer than the 44 i would say it may not be very accurate long jump to the rifling. Plus what Quick said.

Thanks. I was just wondering because I read in a post last night that someone said they checked on the 44 mag barrel and the twist was still 1/38 and they said they decided that they would go with the 444. Charlie
