Every deer or bear I have shot with my 444 was a bang-flop kill. I'm mean not even one step. Save for the one I shot, a 51/2 year-old doe, with the 240gr REM load. It ran 80yds into a thicket. The penetration was nowhere close to what I'm used to seeing. This was the one and only time I will ever use this load on big game.
