[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1317184, member: 2736"] +1 For a long period of time I hunted with specialty pistols and the 444 was the most powerful I used for deer and hogs. I never had anything take a step after being hit with the 444. I liked the 265 grain bullets, but the recoil was near my limits in a 4.5 pound pistol. the 240 grain bullets were more manageable but they also destroyed a lot of meat. The 444 would literally, cut a coyote in half. the long barreled marlin rifle could get almost 100 ft/sec velocity and was better for 3 or 400 yard shots. For many years, it was the king of big bore lever guns. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
