Folks that load, use and know the 45-70 and 444 Marlin know that either is tremendously capable out at 200 yards with a low power scope. Using hard cast, gas checks in a 450 gr .458 at 1,800 fps or a 355 gr. .430 hard cast gas check at 2,000 fps means game over. Loaded with .458, 400 gr or .430, 300 gr Barnes Busters would also administer some serious hurt on the receiving end.
