[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 2142931, member: 19988"] 45-70 is awesome. Then I shot a 444 Marlin. You should give that a try if you haven’t all ready. To me the 444 feeds much better than the 45-70. The extra 500ish FPS and the extra 1,000 ish ft-lbs of kinetic energy is crazy. How it kicks less than a 45-70 I will never know. My shoulder kills me after shooting the 45-70 and like you said it’s very hard to prepare yourself for a follow up shot if you need it. The 444 kicks me don’t get me wrong. It just feels more like a hard push than a sharp kick. The feeding alone makes me lean towards the 444 Marlin. I thank everyone should try it just for the experience. I think Marlin and Remington did very well on developing this round. [/QUOTE]
