Okay, always wanted a 444 Marlin probably because I like the looks (curved pistol grip) that is similar to the Marlin 336 design which is just gorgeous. But how does 444 performance on bigger game compare to 45-70?

444 Marlin shells seem awful spendy, which can be cut into with handloads, but is it a round-rifle combo worth getting into?
