WTS Hornady 44 cal 265gr FTX bullets

[Anvil69]

I bought these a couple months ago at academy on sale to reload for my 44 mag revolver and just figured out they won’t work! They are for a marlin 444 lever action. So if someone reloads and can use them , I think $20 would cover shipping and PayPal fees? If you’re close to Blanco Texas you can just come get them.

I've ran 430s out of my 44mag.

I've ran 430s out of my 44mag.

Everything I’ve found says I can’t. How did you load them?

You’ll run out of OAL due to the tip in some guns but that can be cut off with a razor. It’s a 265gr xtp. The .430 is the size most 44 bullets measure in dia. if that is your concern.

What he said^^

.001 doesnt matter.

I ran them in a marlin with the tips

And cut the tips off for my buddies ruger

They shot fine. Hogs couldn't tell the difference.

I have a S&w model 69 and Taurus tracker both in 44 mag. So just load them up and cut off the top if oal is too long?

Speer made/makes a 270 gr Gold Dot SP... fing some of that data. BTW The M69 with that bullet and slow burning powder like H110 or W296 will get your attention. The tracker will be more forgiving... just 2 cents.... good luck

Why not, I have plenty of fp to shoot out of my .444 but its my favorite rifle so why not play a little more. My nicest buck to date came with her and a 265 fp. If you do want to sell, I'll take them

Sure.Pm answered. I’m pretty new to reloading and haven’t done any for my 44mag’s. I’ll stick to what’s in my reloading book for now but I appreciate everyone’s help.
