Back in the day the only 444 ammo was Remington with a 240 handgun bullet.
I shot a buck with it one morning fro a Marlin.
He dropped to his chest so fast and hard he nearly bounced. He popped up, turned right and ran 20 yards, fell down, stood up and turned around, ran another 10 yards and fell again.
He then lifted his head and blew a stream of blood out of his nose then fell dead.
I had hit him on the ball of the shoulder in out the 3rd rib.
To say I have never seen one act so unearthed, so stunned by the shot.
It was like he was phased on stupid.
