madmurph,

I handload both the 240 and 265 grain bullet for my scoped Marlin M444S. I have taken deer with the 240 and it was a fine load. I loaded 2 boxes of 265 grain Hornady bullets and lent my 444 to my son-in-law 3 years ago. He took a PA black bear at 75 yards with one shot. The bear was 405 pounds dressed. The 444 is a fine caliber in my view and I would use 265 grain bullets.

Adam
