Bob,
My Marlin and me love the 280 WFN GC. Its a great bullet that I think really can reach its full potential when pushed out of a carbine barrel. I waiting for warm temperatures to hit so I can work up some good working loads. Here in Phoenix I don't think it makes good sense to develop a load when its 60 degrees and then have to start over when its 110 degrees.
I have had an occasional failure to feed using this bullet. I believe its the fault of my gun. Of course I can't duplicate it dry cycling the gun so I have to wait for more bullets to work things out. More shooting!!! The things I have to do to try and get it right!!
Just a note, I've talked to a few guys that are able to use ammo loaded longer than SAAMI spec in some of the newer guns. Maybe Marlin is doing something different now?
Have fun with that 44 and by all means get soom WFN's ordered up.
