Federal .444 Marlin ammunition (part no. LG444M1) loads a 270-grain HammerDown Bonded Flat Nose for hunters who want a bullet that performs the same way shot after shot. Federal has been a top American ammunition maker for decades, and this loading reflects the same attention to consistency found across its premium lines. A bonded core resists jacket-core separation for controlled expansion while the flat nose profile is engineered to feed safely through a tubular lever-action magazine without setting off the primer ahead of it. Nickel-plated-brass-cased and 20 to a box, it is built to feed reliably through bolt guns and semi-autos chambered for the cartridge. In our rifle ammunition lineup, this .444 Marlin loading is a confirmed, dependable choice worth adding to the cart.
