Polymer-tipped bullets aren’t usually loaded in old-school lever-action rifle cartridges. But Remington, that old hand in innovation, is never a slave to a trend. The great Arkansas manufacturer has defied convention by loading this 444 Marlin cartridge with a 280 grain Core-Lokt Tipped bullet!
That bullet does not have an unsafe nose profile for a tubular magazine, mind you. Its polymer tip presents a flat, circular meplat that can’t ignite whichever primer it jostles against. The “Big Green Tip” (as Remington calls it) doesn’t do terribly much to reduce drag, though it most certainly accelerates terminal expansion once impact slams it into the Core-Lokt Tipped’s tapered jacket rim and lead core’s precision-formed nose cavity.
The Big Green Tip’s benefit to accuracy isn’t negligible, however. It standardizes the bullet’s frontal profile to a degree that bestows the whole thing with a 0.177 B1 BC, which is excellent for the 444, and translates to this approximate behavior out of a 24” test barrel:
0yds: 2,100 fps | 2,742 ft lbs | -1.5”
100yds: 1,684 fps | 1,763 ft lbs | 5.5”
200yds: 1,341 fps | 1,118 ft lbs | 0.0”
300yds: 1,102 fps | 755 ft lbs | -25.0”
400yds: 968 fps | 583 ft lbs | -78.6”
500yds: 881 fps | 483 ft lbs | -169.2"
