I own one of the Marlin .444xlr rifles topped with a Leupold Vari X II 3x9x40 scope. Although I am an avid cartridge reloader I tried the Hornady LEVERevolution .444 ammo in my new rifle and it shoots sub 1 inch 3 shot groups all day long at 100 yards. So, as it stands I don't see the need to reload for this particular rifle considering the level of consistent accuracy I get with the excellent Hornady LEVERevolution ammo. Hornady has definitely done their homewaork with the LEVERevolution line of ammo, my son's shoot the .30-30 offering and I shoot the .444 offering. I've taken 2 white tail deer so far with my .444, both 1 shot kills at ~80 and ~100 yards. I can't wait to harvest some wild hogs with the .444, I have no doubts that it will perform exceptionally well.
