444 Marlin Ammo For Sale
History of 444 Marlin Ammo
In 1964, Marlin Firearms and Remington Arms joined forces to develop the .444 Marlin, a cartridge that filled the gap created by the lack of lever action rifles chambered in .45-70.
Cowboy action shooting has recently grown in popularity, and along with it, a demand for rifles chambered in .45-70. Several manufacturers have responded to the increased demand and are now making lever action rifles in this caliber. As a result, the sales of .444 Marlin rifles dropped sharply. While demand has fallen off for .444 ammo, hunters still respect the cartridge as a heavy, hard-hitting bullet that works great for hunting in dense brush and for longer shots across a clearing in the woods.
