Well T/C sales the loaded ammo now for it. But to reload or make your own, get the dies from SSK, and run Rem 444 marlin brass through one time and hey .375 JDJ. Use from 180-300 gr bullets and many powders to select from to. Hope this is what you were asking for?

for 375x444? Which I understand is the exact duplicate cartridge or perhaps I should say the jdj is the duplicate of the 375x444 with jdj name on it either way are 375x444 dies avaiable from anybody? or must you buy jdj dies from SSK? JUst asking I have neither barrel any longer.
I just want to know.

No fire form load required. Just run the 444 Marlin into a 375JDJ sizer die, load it, fire it. Dies from SSK run about $70.

I bought .375x.444 dies from Ch4D in Ohio. They were a little cheaper then SSK but not a whole lot. I am using them with an SSK barrel and everything seems to be just fine, she is shooting better then I can hold about 1.5" all day long at 100 yards.

Hey Deaf Smith,
I just ordered the SSK dies and they were $68.00 pluse $6 for shipping and handling. I also talked to a number of people on the CH4d dies and there was a little difference in the shoulder angle.

I said the hell with it and went with the original dies from the man that made the .375 JDJ. Still waiting for the dies, but will load up some rounds as soon as they come in. I will let you know how all went.
