- Conveniently packaged in 20-round boxes for range sessions or hunting trips
Who This Is For
This ammunition is purpose-built for hunters pursuing whitetail deer, black bear, feral hogs, and other medium-to-large game at woods and brush-country distances. It's an ideal load for shooters running lever-action rifles chambered in 444 Marlin who want a proven, hard-hitting flat-point round that feeds reliably from tubular magazines without sacrificing terminal performance on tough-bodied animals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ammunition safe to use in lever-action rifles with tubular magazines?
Yes. The flat point profile of the Hornady InterLock bullet is specifically designed for safe use in lever-action rifles equipped with tubular magazines. The blunt nose prevents primer-to-bullet contact during recoil, which is a critical safety requirement for tubular magazine feeding. This load is fully compatible with popular 444 Marlin platforms like the Marlin Model 444.
What game is the 444 Marlin 265 gr InterLock suitable for hunting?
The 444 Marlin paired with a 265-grain InterLock flat point is well-suited for hunting medium-to-large North American game including whitetail and mule deer, black bear, feral hogs, and elk at typical lever-gun ranges (under 200 yards). The InterLock's controlled expansion and deep penetration make it effective on heavily muscled, thick-skinned animals where terminal performance is critical.
How does Superformance propellant improve performance over standard 444 Marlin loads?
Hornady's Superformance propellant is a progressive-burning powder blend that extracts more velocity from standard case capacity without increasing chamber pressure, recoil, or muzzle blast. In practical terms, this translates to up to 200 fps additional muzzle velocity compared to conventional ammunition, resulting in a flatter trajectory, greater downrange energy retention, and improved terminal performance — all without stressing your rifle or reducing load consistency.
