I have a 444P, the one with the 18 1/2" ported barrel, and have killed a couple of elk (a cow and a calf) with 300 grain hard cast WFNGC from Cast Performance with H332. The cow was about 150-175 yards away. The bullet penetrated both lungs but did not break any shoulder bones. She entered the timber before I could shoot again, but I found her very dead within 50 yards of where she was hit. The calf was shot at a downhill angle at about 65 yards. I hit him a little high breaking the spine, which required a follow-up shot when I got up to him. This load is about 95% of maximum.
