[QUOTE="Catbrain, post: 2955359, member: 127536"] the 300 gr hollow point in 45-70 can be loaded up to 2000 or a little over---- but i was trying to be easy on the shoulder. Souldnt be too much to work it up to 1800. At 1600----the balistic program showed about 6 inches drop at 150 and about 18 at 200. Prob wouldnt want to go past 200. I have sone hard cast gas checked 405 grainers--- but those would just zip through several deer and not even blunt the nose if they didnt hit a major bone. Maybe even if they did. Thats why I wanted a bullet on the lighter end with a big hollow. No experience with the 444--- just looks good on paper----- looks like some of the lighter bullets can get up near 2500 fps. Thats flatter than the "gov"...... My neighbor wanted to try it on a deer to see what happened. He uses 243 and 7mm mag. The 7 is a bit too much shoulder pain he said. Im going to try to load him some reduced recoil loads for it. Like a 140 gr @ 2600. something with about 308 recoil. (instead of 300 win mag recoil) [/QUOTE]
