Heavy .444 Marlin hunting ammunition for the jobs lighter bullets do not answer

The .444 Marlin has ample cartridge capacity, but much of the available ammunition remains concentrated around lighter or conventional 265-grain bullets. Hunters looking for a true 300-grain jacketed flat-nose load face limited and intermittent choices.

Gold Country builds this load to restore that heavy-hunting option. It combines the .444 Marlin with a hand-swaged 300-grain .429 Rhino Wide Flat Nose in small-batch, made-to-order ammunition for compatible lever rifles.

What the 300-grain Rhino load is built to do

This is a deliberate heavy-for-caliber hunting load for shooters prioritizing bullet mass, momentum and straight-line penetration through resistance over the flatter trajectory of a lighter bullet. Its broad flat nose and reinforced jacket are built for structural integrity rather than rapid handgun-style expansion.

Heavy 300-grain bullet mass
Wide flat nose for immediate tissue displacement
Reinforced jacket for penetration-oriented hunting use
Geometry intended for compatible tubular-magazine lever rifles
Hand-swaged bullet and small-batch, made-to-order production

Velocity basis and rifle fit

The approximately 1,865-fps figure is based on Lee Precision load data published through LoadData.com. It is not a Gold Country chronograph result. Actual velocity and terminal performance vary with the rifle, barrel, components, ammunition lot and conditions.

Use only in firearms marked for .444 Marlin. Confirm cartridge length, feeding, chambering and point of impact in the rifle that will be used. This product is not .44 Magnum ammunition.
