Re: 2001 Vintage 444SS
Here's what the Mountain Molds 433-375GC and 433-400GC look like ! The 375 grainer will shoot in the slow twist Micro barrels also if I water quench the bullets . The 400's however are a fast twist Ballard rifling only proposition and I water quench them as well ! http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f...

Yep at one point I was loading for every lever action cartridge Marlin ever chambered for except the 45-90 .
Now the only lever guns I have are in 375 WIN , 444 and 45-70 !
And if I didn't own NINETEEN 444's that would sound reasonable
