paint, my way of thinking is that, though it's nice to use the lighter, flatter shooting bullets, you leave a lot on the table by not being able to utilize the heavies. It should be an option if you so choose, and the .444 is capable of taking quite large animals if so twisted.
It is a very versatile round if it can use them, and I just don't understand why Marlin didn't twist it tight enough for the 330+ grain bullets. Much in the same manner as the 1984 in .44 mag, or the current crop of .22-250s that still have 1/14 twist.
