Anyone with Quickload willing to run a cartridge for me?

[Adlew]

I have a 444 Marlin TC Encore pistol I use for deer and I am interested in finding out what the program recomends is the best powder to use in it. I recently purchaced some 250gr flat base and 275gr boat tail Cutting Edge bullets to test. I use a 10 inch barrel, but remove the chamber and muzzle brake and it is about 5 1/2 inches of rifling, 1/20 inch twist.

Lots of folks on here have QL, and some are occasionally willing to assist someone without it with a computation or two. But that willingness is usually predicated upon an interesting and narrowly focused question from a user who has already done a bit of homework referring to several reloading manuals and and possibly even having some preliminary results from shooting some loads over a chronograph while accuracy testing.

Users are also more likely to contribute QL results for cartridges where we have some personal experience to help interpret results and place them in the context of accuracy, which is the main focus of most shooters here. A short-barrelled 444 Marlin is an odd bird that is unlikely to attract much interest.

My version of QL doesn't have those bullets listed for the .444 Marlin

To get meaningful results you are going to have to supply the QL needed information on the bullets. Those aren't in the data base for V3.8. Water capacity would help too. But my impression is that QL is much more accurate with bottleneck cases than straight wall. I use it for straight wall handgun, but always view it as less reliable.
